[Bioperl-l] RemoteBlast by Bio::Perl Through proxy

[Jason Stajich]

If you look at the code for setting the proxy  in the module you see  
that we are just delegating to the LWP::UserAgent object, so read the  
documentation for LWP::UserAgent as that is where the proxy stuff is  
handled.  There should be a way to do all of this via environment  
variables as well - this is outlined in the LWP document, you may  
have to add $blast->ua->env_proxy call to your code, I'm not sure.


sub proxy {
     my ($self,$protocol,$proxy) = @_;
     return undef if ( !defined $self->ua || !defined $protocol
                       || !defined $proxy );
     return $self->ua->proxy($protocol,$proxy);
}
