Make it easier installing behind proxy server

[feri]

midgardmvc can not fetch application YML file if the installation happens behind a proxy.

part of midgardmvc output:

# reading application definition
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(http://github.com/nemein/com_meego_website/raw/master/downloads.yml): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /usr/share/php/pake/pakeYaml.class.php on line 36

Since it is not possible to set HTTP proxy in php.ini I would like to request either to

• replace the file_get_contents call with something else like curl for example
• change midgardmvc to use a configurable proxy

Could you please consider adding proxy support?

second option looks good to me. I try to avoid curl, if possible :)

will it be ok, if installer checks $http_proxy env variable and enables proxy-requests if it is set?

[feri]

Yes, of course. Even better than yet another place to configure http_proxy. Thanks!

Following my last comment I clicked on the wrong button and closed this ticket. There seems to be no way to reopen it.
