[libcloud] Suggestions on how to use libcloud through corporate ISA proxy?

[Rudiger Wolf]

Hi

Any tips on using libcloud through ISA proxy?
Works fine when I am at home on direct connection.
I am using kick.py to drive libcloud
http://www.h1tman.com/2010/08/libcloud-python-example-kick-py/

with ntlm to deal with corporate ISA based firewall
http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/

On Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick beta

and get

$ printenv | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://localhost:9090
https_proxy=http://localhost:9090

$ python kick.py username key 3 2 servername  LAMP
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 561, in create_connection
    raise error, msg

Any suggestions?
