org-feed and http_proxy

org-feed and http_proxy

[zwz]

Now and then I have to set http_proxy for internet access.

I do it in emacs, e.g. by 
(setenv "http_proxy" "http://10.10.10.10:808")

Ok, now org-feed will use this proxy and works great.

Later, I find the proxy is down, so I switch to another proxy
(setenv "http_proxy" "http://10.10.10.20:808")

and then M-x org-feed-update-all,
the message shows that org-feed is still using the old proxy
"http://10.10.10.10:808"

I don't know if it is related to org-feed, hope someone has the answer.

By the way, I can not get the feeds from codeproject.
My setting:
("codeproject"
         "http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/articlerss.aspx?cat=2"
         "~/.org/feeds.org" "C++ on CodeProject"
         :parse-feed org-feed-parse-atom-feed :parse-entry org-feed-parse-atom-entry)

Org-mode is using url-retrieve-synchonously, so this must be a cacheing
issue in the url package.

One thing you might try is to use curl or wget instead - see the  
variable
`org-feed-retrieve-method'.

This is an atom feed, and I did not write that part. magnus.henoch@gmail.com

I do not know there is such a variable
is it introduced in 6.35?
I will try out the latest version. Thanks!

No, I think this has been always present.

It was introduced way back when:

You might not have had org-feed.el loaded when you went looking for it.

When I open that URL in Firefox and view the source, it turns out to be
an RSS file.  So just remove the :parse-feed and :parse-entry items; the
default is to parse the file as an RSS file.
