the latest version of get_flash_videos does not support proxy ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried using a proxy and worked for the url I was tring. There are different 
types of proxy and methods of using a proxy.

Had to try to find goagent, that appears to be an http/https proxy.

I used:
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host:8080
./combine_get_flash_videos url

That works for OpenBSD using a http proxy, no details on your OS, or how your 
setting proxy.

There was a change to FlashVideos::Mechanize in April 2011, that looks like it 
causes an issue for this form
get_flash_videos --proxy=http://host:8080 url

The socks form should work with a socks proxy
get_flash_videos --proxy=host:8080 url

correction is 
https://github.com/njtaylor/get-flash-videos/commit/9f9664fa303271fc277e2ef742b0
739f619a3cae

Until then you should be able to use the environment setting 
HTTP_PROXY=http://host:8080 on linux, may work on windows

Attached is an updated combined file, works on OpenBSD, also works on debian 
squeeze.

Socks proxy tested, --proxy=localhost --proxy=localhost:1080 
--proxy=socks://localhost:1080 --proxy=socks://127.0.0.1:1080 all these forms 
worked. Cannot use --proxy=127.0.0.1 or --proxy=127.0.0.1:1080
Test used ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 test to provide the socks proxy. ssh from 
OpenBSD to debian squeeze.

Both forms of proxy socks or http work. Only using the --proxy=host[:port] were 
host is an ip address, later update allows --proxy=127.0.0.1 converting to 
socks://127.0.0.1:1080

Next download files created will include this change, and once the existing 
pull request has been dealt with a pull request will be submitted to close this 
issue.
