I had a similar issue and I exported proxy url’s in run.sh and toolshed started working. It might be helpful.

run.sh:

#!/bin/sh

cd `dirname $0`

export http_proxy=http://your_proxy:port

export ftp_proxy=http://your_proxy:port

dear Galaxians,
my server is behind a proxy with user authentication.
Wget and hg work fine however unfortunately when I try to install from the tool shed I get error since the system is using urllib2 that is known not to be compatible with proxy with authentication.

How should one locally install tool-sheds ?

Is it possible with hg or with wget ?

Looking forward your advice.
Thankyou
