when i try to use g.extension behind a proxy, following the example from
the manual, it gives me the following error:
{{{
g.extension ext=i.segment.hierarchical proxy="http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxxx"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/grass-7.3.svn/scripts/g.extension", line 1730, in
<module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/local/grass-7.3.svn/scripts/g.extension", line 1675, in main
for ptype, purl in (p.split('=') for p in
options['proxy'].split(',')):
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
}}}
Using the form suggested by Pietro:
{{{
proxy="http=<value>,ftp=<value>"
}}}
{{{
g.extension ext=i.segment.hierarchical
proxy="http=http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxxx"
}}}
gives:
{{{
Fetching <i.segment.hierarchical> from GRASS GIS Addons repository (be
patient)...
ERROR: Extension <i.segment.hierarchical> not found
}}}
which is exactly the same as if I don't indicate the proxy at all.
FWIW, I normally use urllib2 to handle the proxy. However I have some
difficulties to apply this simple method to the 1700+ rows code (handling
several different addons sources for several os's) of g.extension, but I'm
behind a proxy and I'm available to test if you have a patch.
Here's what I do in python:
{{{
import urllib2
import os
proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':os.environ['HTTP_PROXY']})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
}}}
Thanks
