GAM via a Proxy Server

[Cliff Wakefield]

Hi,

I am trying to use GAM to manage a Google Apps for Education domain,
however I am unable to get GAM to connect to the Google Apps servers.

I have tried both on Windows 7 and OS X 10.6.

Both machines have to use proxy servers to access URL's outside the
organisation.

It appears that the Python code doesn't respect the proxy settings on
the machines.

Under Windows 7 the proxy settings are set within 'Internet Options'
and under OS X they are set in the system control panel.

Normal web site access works with these settings, however GAM does
not.

Anyone had any experience with get gam.exe on Windows 7 or gam.py on
OS X to use proxy settings?

Thanks in advance...

GAM does not support Proxy's at this point and I don't have a proxy
server setup to test against.

GAM uses GData python client.

Python client is supposed to connect to Google's servers via proxy.

Try setting the following 4 variables and see if you can connect via
the proxy:

http_proxy
https_proxy
proxy_username and
proxy_password

Let the group know if it works for you.

In case anyone else finds this thread trying to get GAM working through a proxy:

http_proxy and https_proxy have to be in the format: http://proxy:port

For example, this works for me on Windows, with a proxy server which does not require authentication:

set http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080

set https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080

Hi Snadip 

Where can I find the variables that you say for connect via the proxy? This variables are in the process the installation of the app?
