| hi,
| 
| I got a problem in both windows and linux environments
| 
| The comp is behind a firewall and http_proxy
| everything except http is blocked
| The dns resolution also must happen on the proxy side.
| All the browsers support this and work flaw less. but i am using a
| python script which uses the liburl to fetch an http page.
| The proxy usage is simple by declaring http_proxy variable.
| but the script fails at resovling the name itself.
| 
| does anyone has any idea about how to resolve the names using http
| proxy instade of /etc/resolve.conf stuff??

its /etc/resolv.conf!!!
how abt. /etc/hosts and put the proxy's ip in it?

| This is not limited to python, even wget doesn't work with named
| sites. Giving an ip directly works though.

for wget:
--proxy-user and --proxy-passwd

AFAIK, you can't use web-proxy as DNS.

| BTW the script i am trying to use is libgmail :) 

:) let us know once you are finished. BTW, is it legal?
