I have set the proxy in the env variables (both http and https)

There is an article "Using Proxy Servers with the Google Data API Client 
Libraries", but it was written in 2007 and, alas, doesn't mention Python.

I have the same issue.

Are there any chances the proxy support will be implemented soon?

I solved the issue on my PC...

I downloaded and installed an updated version of python gdata (gdata-2.0.10) 
and then I set the http_proxy and https_proxy variables (both).

I set both http_proxy and https_proxy in my env, but I still get the same error:

I am using these versions, on win xp (32bit):
- python-2.6.5 (on a non-standard path: C:\Docs\Apps\Python26)
- gdata-2.0.10
- googlecl-0.9.7

Works for me behind a proxy.

What user-agent is being passed? Sometimes (this happened to me recently) a 
proxy will check for an authorized user-agent.

python 2.5.6
Gdata 2.0.10
googecl 0.9.7

After installing Gdata 2.0.10 it now works.

I'll add this information to the FAQ. Thanks to everyone who reported in with 
problems and the solution.

Has anyone else had a problem with operating googlecl behind a proxy after 
updating to gdata-python-client 2.0.10? If so, I'll re-open this issue.

Seems like it does work for me too on gdata 2.0.10 too. :) 
Though suddenly discovered that the problem was slightly different- I had tried 
<code>set HTTP_PROXY="http://<proxyservername>:<port>"<code> and it didn't 
work. Today tried it without the quotes i.e. <code>set 
HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxyservername>:<port><code> and it worked. That shouldn't 
happen but might be a windows shell thing. My environment was Windows 7.

Hi, the problem was the syntax of my http_proxy variable.
Before the installation, this variable was already set to a value in the 
"<proxyservername>:<port>" form, which is recognized by wget.
Then I switched to the form "<protocol>://<proxyservername>:<port>", so:

  set http_proxy=http://myproxy:8080
  set https_proxy=https://myproxy:8080

It worked.

Suggestion:
You could assume that protocol is http, if not specified.
Some people may found this environment variable already set in the implicit 
form, and could have no administrative rights to change it in the windows 
system properties. (Sure, they can still set these variables into the command 
line...)
