Can HarvestMan work across proxies?
Yes. HarvestMan can work transparently across proxy servers and firewalls. HarvestMan supports proxies and firewalls by the following config variables in the config file and their command-line counteparts. • proxyserver: This is the name or ip of the proxy server • proxyport: This is the port to which the proxy listens for requests. • proxyuser: Username for proxy authentication, if any. • proxypasswd: Password for proxy authentication, if any. These variables are child elements of the top-level XML element network inside HarvestMan configuration file. The proxy handling is built into Python. Note that if you use the config file generation script (in the HarvestMan site or the one included in the distribution), the proxy variables are encrypted to prevent misuse of the information by a third-party.
