Use proxy over sftp on win32 version

[Matthias Fechner]

Hi,

I am on windows and tried to use bazaar.
The problem is I can only access the internet over a proxy.

I was successful to open a connection with putty over the proxy and
using as destination port 443.

Now I tried it with bazaar but it will not work.
I set the environment variable http_proxy to host:proxyport with set:
set $http_proxy=host:proxyport

Then I tried to pull some data to my server with
bzr pull sftp://user@server:443/directory

but i got the following errormessage:
bzr: ERROR: Unable to connect to SSH host <host>:443; (11001,
'getaddrinfo failed')

Then I tried to replace the hostname with an IP address and now i get
the errormessage:
(10060, 'Operation timed out')

It seems to me that bazaar is not using the proxy I defined.

How can I define a proxy that bazaar will use?

Best regards,
Matthias
