Proxy server support

[vincent.chaptal@…]

Need to offer proxy-server support for toolshed and other facilities of ChimeraX. Setting the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables in os.environ will allow urllib to automatically use proxies.

Hi Vincent,

I have added HTTP/HTTPS proxy server support and I'm hoping you can test it out for me and let me know if it seems to work. In daily builds dated June 2nd or later (i.e. starting tomorrow) in ChimeraX's preferences ("Preferences" under the ChimeraX menu) there will be a "Web Access" category. In there, there will be controls for setting the proxy host and port number. You have to hit Return after putting in the host name in order for it to "take" (i.e. know you're done). You also need to click Save if you want the info saved for the next ChimeraX session.
Thanks in advance.

Addendum: I fixed the code so you don't have to hit Return -- just moving he mouse away (cause the editor to lose focus) will do it now.

Hi Eric,

it would have been a pleasure to test it for you but I'm limited to v0.6 
as the plugin I'm using doesn't work under the latest versions of ChimeraX.
All the best
Vincent

My development version of ISOLDE is now working with ChimeraX 0.7, but 
I'd prefer not to put it up on the ToolShed until everything's a bit 
more stable. Will keep you posted.
