[SOLVED] Re: problems connecting to pubmed

Hi Fréderic,

Your hunch was right:

Actually yes, it returned the proxy adress I use at work! I have two
profiles in my mandrake install: one for work (using a proxy address), and
the other for home (without proxy). For some reason the home profile seems
to keep that variable true...

It's weird, since svn works fine, and gui applications are ok (firefox, etc)
so I thought everything was ok. But w3m also borks, as does links.

So I typed 

$http_proxy=

and now pybliographic fetches medline entries. This is sweet :)

Sorry for wasting your time with a problem unrelated to pyblio, I'm still a
newbie in linux.

Thanks for the help,

Alex
