noobs does not allow setting proxies to access the internet

[tps800]

NOOBS does not allow setting proxies to access internet. This might be necessary within various organisations like universities, collages, schools, companies, ...

Would therefore be quite nice if I could configure something like

ftp_proxy=http://myproxy.local:port http_proxy=http://myproxy.local:port

to have NOOBS download OS-images from internet instead just telling me about "could not connect servers".

maybe it is similar to https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/issues/231 - option to override hardcoded DEFAULT_REPO_SERVER https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/pull/234 - alternative image source repos

Nope, it doesn't have anything to do with #231 or #234 - those are concerned with accessing a different os_list.json whereas AFAIK this issue is concerned with accessing the 'normal' os_list.json when internet access is only available via an HTTP proxy, rather than directly.

+1 I just found this issue right now, It will be really useful to be able to set a proxy configuration.
