Issues connecting through proxy

[gpalovchik]

Does portalpy implement any more robust handshaking protocols to connect to ArcGIS Online through a proxy? Attempts to use urllib2 have failed. Only pycurl seems to be robust enough. Any suggestions on how to work around this issue are welcome. The base error thrown when trying to connect is, "URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed>".

@gpalovchik I think you'll find a lot of additional options and some enhanced support for connecting through a proxy here: https://github.com/Esri/ArcREST

@achapkowski will have further ideas.

ArcRest supports proxys in its security handler, you just need to provide it with your username and password. For portalpy, you may have to set up the proxy in the https environment variable, or manually set it on the urlib2 using proxy handlers, but this takes some work.
