Hi Samuele and All,
From our Invenio server we can only access the Internet via a http proxy.
For most purposes this can be done using environment variables http_proxy,
HTTP_PROXY, ...
However, for OAI Harvest this seems not to work. Looking into
oai_harvest_getter.py I found that there httplib is used in the function
OAI_Request(). And searching a bit for use of proxies together with
httplib I found that httplib does not respect the environment variables
like http_proxy (as opposed to urllib). Is this true?
The way to use a proxy with httplib seems to be:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("my.proxy.host", "proxy_port")
conn.request("GET", "http://OAI.source.host:port/path";)
instead of
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("OAI.source.host", "port")
conn.request("GET", "/path")
Do you know an easy way to get OAI Harvest to work behind a proxy, i.e.
without hacking oai_harvest_getter.py?
Best wishes,
Stefan
