Thanks for the quick replies. As Luis mentions i have used export http_proxy (but in /etc/ environment and in the startup script of cherokee). I will try defining in /etc/profile i did some further testing by launching web2py with its own web server. by running "python web2py.py -c server.crt -k server.key -a password - i <IPADDRESS> -p 8888" This way web2py uses the proxy seamlessly (It works fine!)
but when i deploy using wsgi either in apache or cherokee web2py does not see the proxy. what could be wrong? where is this problem occurring? Luis .. which is the web server and cgi setup you are using? i am really impressed with the speed of cherokee + wsgi + web2py, the memory foot print is small and the whole thing runs like greased lightning :D .. i just hope to solve this proxy issue.
