duplicity behind a proxy

seems like
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.6-series/view/head:/duplicity/backends/webdavbackend.py
would have to switch to urllib for that.

your welcome to have a take on that, if you want of course ;) .. ede/duply.net

probably urllib2 is the way to go, see

Read from "urllib2: the missing manual" [1]

 "Currently urllib2 does not support fetching of https locations through a proxy. This can be a problem."

So I guess it's a no go.

even if, it is still an enhancement because all that's working now is working still plus at least proxy support for http.

but actually i can't imagine that https over proxy is still not working in recent versions of python. still, you might want to try for yourself first ;)
