Hi all:

This is regarding Medline queries in Pybliographic (1.2.4). I'm jacked
into my Institute's LAN which blocks outbound packets on port 80 (http),
allowing access to the Internet only via a proxy server.

My question is: can Pybliographic be made to use proxy servers in order
to do Medline queries? This is, of course, assuming that the Medline
query function requires port 80 (which I assume it does). I've tried
looking in the help documentation and on the web but couldn't find any
information.

If this can't be done, can it be implemented in the next release? Maybe
a configurable option in Preferences that allows you to specify the
proxy host and port. Or maybe even get Pybliographic to use the shell's
$http_proxy environmental variable.
