Problems with load $http_proxy

[Guile]

In rescuetime-linux-uploader-80. It seems that the variable $http_proxy is'nt loaded.
When the progran try to upload data, or test the login, in a network whit proxy it fails. (Uploading XX.upload.encoded.data ... Error uploading).

It seems https support in urrlib2 in python 2.5 is broken : http://bugs.python.org/issue1424152

I have used the patch in the thread above. (download link in Files section, top of the page).
With Ubuntu 8.04 :
export http_proxy=http://wwwcache.insa-toulouse.fr:3128;export https_proxy=http://wwwcache.insa-toulouse.fr:3128;
cd
wget http://bugs.python.org/file9753/http-tunnel-urllib
cd /usr/lib/python2.5
patch -p1 < ~/http-tunnel-urllib
cd ~/tmp/rescuetime-linux-uploader-80
vi RescueTimeUploader/uploader.py
Comment line 31 to 35. (if os.getenv....)
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
rescuetime_linux_uploader

Hope this helps...

Hi Guile, Wizzro,

Should the proxy code in rescuetime-linux-uploader be removed?
