In office http_proxy is required . This script will help to set the http_proxy

1. Create python script to get IP

#!/bin/python import socket officeProxy='Myoffice:80' def get_ip(): s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) try: # doesn't even have to be reachable s.connect(('10.255.255.255', 1)) IP = s.getsockname()[0] except: IP = '127.0.0.1' finally: s.close() return IP def setProxyINBashShell(): if get_ip().startswith("10"): print officeProxy else : print '' if __name__ == '__main__': setProxyINBashShell()
