Hi Everyone, We are pleased to announce that after hours of work we have finally released version 1.0 of the GDataCopier project (http:// code.google.com/p/gdatacopier/). The release feature the use of HTTPS proxies along with various bug fixes from the initial BETA offering.
With a little bit of help from various articles published in ASPN, GDataCopier can now handle HTTPS proxies with authentication options. The Google Data API uses Python's httplib to do most of its communication, whereas GDataCopier uses urllib2 because of some nice features like automatic handling of redirects. The GData API excepts to identify the HTTPS proxy to be used by seeking the environment variable https_proxy. Urllib2 for some reason doesn't like that. It results in raising an exception. Having tried this under various Linux variants I concluded that its a deep bond between the environment variable https_proxy and urllib2. At this stage we have release a patch for GData API as part of our final release that addresses this issue. I will post a detailed message about this error on the Python list (for those who are interested) and hope to get some feedback to fix this issue wherever the issue may lie. Enough said, hope GDataCopier proves useful to many Google Documents users.
