Subject: Re: Image scraping from behind a proxy

While I was writing my query I figured out what I am supposed to do :) 
Sorry for the thread. I hope it helps other visitors to the forum.

Here's how it works now:

 $proxy_addr = 'proxyservername'
 $proxy_port = 8080


 Net::HTTP::Proxy($proxy_addr, $proxy_port).start("static.flickr.com") { 
|http|
 resp = http.get("/92/218926700_ecedc5fef7_o.jpg")
 open("fun.jpg", "wb") { |file|
 file.write(resp.body)
 }
}



The above is tweaked version of the example available here:

It just uses Net::HTTP::Proxy instead of Net::HTTP
