Has anyone used a proxy server within BioMart to get around an internal
firewall? I've set the proxy parameters in
dist/conf/xml/biomart.all.properties
http.proxyHost=proxyserver.com
http.proxyPort=8080

I am able to set the http_proxy environment variable and access the
external site using curl from the command line, but when I try to run
the same query from within BioMart it fails.
Error in stdouterror log file:
org.biomart.common.exceptions.BioMartException: HTTP Error 404 -
<HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type"
CONTENT="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"><TITLE>Not Found</TITLE></HEAD>
<H1>Not Found</H1> The requested object does not exist on this server.
The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has
been instructed not to let you have it.

My guess is that I'm not setting something correctly in the
biomart.all.properties file or there is another setting that I'm
missing. If anyone has experience with proxy settings within BioMart, it
would be great to get some input from anyone who has Biomart going
through a proxy server.

Thanks,
Heather
