Specifying A Proxy

By default proxy information will be read from the environment variables: proxy, all_proxy and http_proxy, proxy options can also by specified with the -p switch

<type> := "http://" | "socks5://"

<serif> := <username> (":" <password>)? "@"

<proxy> := "None" | <type>? <string>? <host> (":" <port>)?

Here are some examples (In case you are unfamiliar with the BNF):

http://user:password@myproxyserver:8080

socks5://myproxyserver

None
