Hi,

There is an OTM Python utility ClientUtil.py which can be used to import/export data from OTM. This works great unless a proxy is required for connection to OTM. Has anyone any experience of using this utility when a proxy is involved or have a modified script that does allow the proxy to be specified and connect through the proxy.

Thanks, Andy.

Andy,

At G-Log, I tested this with transparent web proxy servers and the utility worked, however you're right that it doesn't function through a standard web proxy (or SOCKS proxy for that matter).

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you - other than recoding the script.

Hopefully someone else will have tackled this -- anyone?

Forgot the obvious, Google comes to the rescue again. You can set an envrionment variable http_proxy. e.g.

set http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080 (Windows)

or

export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080 (Unix)


You can also authenticate in the Proxy with:

http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080

After I set this environment variable ClientUtil.py connected through the proxy without issues. May not work in every case, but worth a try.
