[Biojava-l] proxy problem

[mark.schreiber at group.novartis.com]

You can set proxy parameters as environment variables in the command line 
of java. There you can set the proxyPort etc. The syntax escapes me now 
(and has changed over time) java -D "proxyHost=myhost.com" myprogram (or 
something). A quick Google search will find it.

Your other option is to set proxy variables in your program:

System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy.myhost.com");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "80");

If you do this before you call any network classes (such as those in 
biofetch) your program should navigate through your proxy. If you have an 
authenticating proxy (eg one that knows who you are and expects your own 
unique password this is more tricky but can be done).

Hope this helps,

Mark

  I think  there is a proxy problem in org.biojava.directory package. When 
a guy uses a computer which needs a proxy to link abroad, it will fail to 
use biofetch(as far as I know,
this situation is often in many labs to save  money).So I suggest when 
biojava uses a netIO,it should be able to use a proxy.Any ideas?
