Hi all, I've got a relatively fresh installed Galaxy instance running within a locked network, where internet access is allowed only via a proxy. So far, so simple; indeed I get internet access via a terminal (e.g. calling Google with lynx), also wget and mercurial have the chance to access target URL's. The variables $http_proxy, $https_proxy and $ftp_proxy are set. My problem occurs when I try to execute the automatic tests (using 'run_functional_tests.sh') for the FASTX toolbox, described here right at the end: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/download.html The calls of the scripts generally end up in an error block of the following scheme: ##### functional_tests.py DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,406 Attempting to serve app on randomly chosen port: 8720 functional_tests.py INFO 2013-06-25 14:15:40,468 Embedded web server started base.asserts DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,506 base.asserts.text base.asserts DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,506 base.asserts.tabular base.asserts DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,506 base.asserts.xml functional_tests.py INFO 2013-06-25 14:15:40,506 Functional tests will be run against localhost:8720 nose.plugins.manager DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,518 DefaultPluginManager load plugin nosetestdiff = nosetestdiff.plugin:NoseTes tDiff nose.plugins.manager DEBUG 2013-06-25 14:15:40,520 DefaultPluginManager load plugin nosehtml = nosehtml.plugin:NoseHTML Uncollapse ( cshl_fastx_uncollapser ) > Test-1 ...

Finally I'm a bit confused what that means to me, beyond just not to be able to use the test suite. Anyone an idea what could and/or should be fixed or checked?
