Can't use googlecl behind proxy server

[autonoi]

I see posts telling me that I just need to set the http_proxy variable
in my shell and then run the googlecl but it never worked for me. What
else am I missing:

$ export http_proxy='http://hostname:80'
$ google picasa create 'iPhone2' ~/Pictures/iPhone2/*
Please specify title: iPhone2
Please specify user: user...@gmail.com

Hm that's odd.  Maybe try strace and see if it's actually trying to connect to your proxy?
