Solved the problem! :) .. wsgi has a option to explicitly pass an environment variable (given in the commandline). Once i passed the http_proxy variable by this method web2py works fine. I think the default uwsgi wizzard in cherokee is broken. I had to define a custom source to get uwsgi + web2py to work. i finally have cherokee + uwsgi + web2py working absolutely fine (with proxy etc.) will document everything and post it. thanks for everything.
