[FIXED] Ghost.py and proxy

Issue

Is anyone able to explain how to make Ghost.py work with a proxy? I've checked out the code but it's not there.

Solution

I've found it in the ghost.py file. They did a very good job in it. It's a method on line 835, as set_proxy(). It's just how to use it that I'm yet to try out:

def set_proxy(self, type_, host='localhost', port=8888, user='',
        password=''):
    """Set up proxy for FURTHER connections.

    :param type_: proxy type to use: \
        none/default/socks5/https/http.
    :param host: proxy server ip or host name.
    :param port: proxy port.
    """
    _types = {
        'default': QNetworkProxy.DefaultProxy,
        'none': QNetworkProxy.NoProxy,
        'socks5': QNetworkProxy.Socks5Proxy,
        'https': QNetworkProxy.HttpProxy,
        'http': QNetworkProxy.HttpCachingProxy
    }

    if type_ is None:
        type_ = 'none'
    type_ = type_.lower()
    if type_ in ['none', 'default']:
        self.manager.setProxy(QNetworkProxy(_types[type_]))
        return
    elif type_ in _types:
        proxy = QNetworkProxy(_types[type_], hostName=host, port=port,
            user=user, password=password)
        self.manager.setProxy(proxy)
    else:
        raise ValueError('Unsupported proxy type:' + type_ \
        + '\nsupported types are: none/socks5/http/https/default')

What I don't understand now is what "QNetworkProxy.DefaultProxy" means. It's said to be the default proxy. So, what's the default proxy?
