Needs proxy support

[jbehrends]

The only egress access out of my network is through a proxy server that is tightly controlled. How can I use a proxy with this? Or is this a feature that could be added?

What is the normal way for your platform? Likely that should work.

@lericson I would configure the app or in this case your library to use a proxy server. Since your library does not currently support passing a proxy into urllib2 (Which supports using a proxy) your library is unusable in an environment that requires internet access via a proxy.

That is why I created this issue.
