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. + +> Closing this, since the http library git-annex uses supports socks +> proxies via environment settings, as far as I know.
