[BioRuby] proxy

[Toshiaki Katayama]

Hi Vert,

According to the SOAP4R documentation at
   http://rrr.jin.gr.jp/doc/soap4r/RELEASE_en.html
you will need to set two environmental variables or to create
a configuration file (I have no proxy and have never tried).

1. set 'soap_use_proxy' variable with its value 'on' and
    set 'http_proxy' variable with URL of your proxy as its value

or

2. create a $RUBYLIB/soap/property file (where $RUBYLIB is the
    directory of your choice something like $HOME/lib/ruby/ or
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ etc.) to specify the proxy like:
      client.protocol.http.proxy = http://myproxy:8080

Hope this helps,
Toshiaki Katayama
