ns-download-data does not use proxy from environment

[arvind-iyer]

Describe the bug I am behind a corporate proxy and was unable to download the datasets using ns-download-data. The script uses gdown to download files but gdown does not automatically use the proxy like wget or url, it needs to be explicitly added in the function call like below

gdown(url, output=str(download_path), proxy="http://hostname:port")

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect to network behind a proxy
2. Run ns-download-data nerfstudio --capture-name=poster
3. See error

Expected behavior I am okay with either of two options - proxy information is retrieved from the environment (http_proxy or system network config) or an additional CLI argument is exposed to explicitly include it like below

ns-download-data nerfstudio --capture-name=poster --proxy=http://hostname:port

Could you tell me the detailed solution? I have the same problem as you, but I don't know how to solve it.

[matyja256]

I add a CLI argument. But it still reported an error, saying that it could not be analyzed.

The --proxy argument has not been added. We welcome PRs that add this.

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890
ns-download-data nerfstudio --capture-name=poster

It can solve the problem.
