@ -3,3 +3,6 @@ It appears that `git annex importfeed` can not be used in with socks proxies bec
For `addurl`, I could configure the system to use a socks proxy by setting `git config annex.web-download-command "curl --silent --preproxy socks4a://localhost:1080 %url -o %file"`; for `importfeed`, I found no option to override the command used to fetch the URL, and `wget` [lacks SOCKS support](https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=43576).
Please consider using `web-download-command` for `importfeed` too, introducing a dedicated option `web-get-command` (that would output to stdout rather than %file), or otherwise supporting operation behind a SOCKS proxy.
