[Bioperl-l] http proxy support for test cases

[Lihn, Steve]

Hi,
For those of us sitting behind a firewall, proxy server is always a problem.
So I went in and hack the code. A very simple hack is like this:

Inside Biblio_biofetch.t (v.1.0), add the following code (3 places):

    ok ($db = new Bio::Biblio (-access => 'biofetch',
				   -verbose=>$verbose));
    if ( $ENV{'BIOPERL_HTTP_PROXY'} ) {
      ok ($db->proxy(['http','ftp'], $ENV{'BIOPERL_HTTP_PROXY'}));
    }

DOS/UNIX sh>set BIOPERL_HTTP_PROXY="http://a.b.com:port/"
DOS/UNIX sh>nmake test

There are a few other places in other files that needs this fix. I will
follow up.
