[Reportbug-maint] Bug#717563: re: reportbug: web access thru proxy not available

[Marcelo Lacerda]

I think I found where the bug is:

https://github.com/ProgVal/reportbug/blob/19fb757df622419f39360627060c9bd0304e0e25/reportbug/debbugs.py#L1209
reportbugs calls debianbts without setting an http_proxy variable to it.

A way to fix this would be by setting up the proxy before each call to the
debianbts library like so:

    debianbts._soap_client_kwargs['proxy'] = http_proxy

I tried fixing it myself but then I ran into a problem of "proxy is not
supported with urllib2 transport", thrown by pysimplesoap.
Somehow I need to change the requests provider of it so it can take proxy.

This probably request the help of the maintainer of debianbts.
