I can do Python to automatically detect your proxy settings Am I >

Environment variable http_proxy / from https_proxy to http: // your-proxy-server-address: set proxy-port

The urlopen () function works transparently with a proxy, for which authentication is not required. In the Unix or Windows environment, set the http_proxy or ftp_proxy environment variable to a URL that recognizes the proxy server before starting the Python interpreter. For example ('%' is a command prompt):

 % http_proxy = "http://www.someproxy.com:3128"% export http_proxy% python ...   
 The no_proxy environment variable can be used to specify the host that must be transported through a proxy; If set, this hostname should be a comma-separated list of suffixes, optionally: added for port, for example cern.ch, ncsa.uiuc.edu, some.host: 8080 .
