Usage behind proxy

I'm trying to test a server within our intranet, but our corporate proxy is blocking requests to said server. I've noticed you guys use phantomjs. To make phantomjs work within our network setup, I need to pass the --proxy-type=none argument to it. So a typical phantomjs call looks something like this:

PATH/TO/PHANTOM/bin/phantomjs --proxy-type=none somescript.js

So far I have found no way to pass this argument from Arachni down to phantom. Is there a way to make this happen without hacking away at the existing code base?

   Global proxy setting are usually passed via the http_proxy env var.
   You can remove it prior to running Arachni and configure any proxy settings via the -http-proxy-* options.

   Unsetting http_proxy does the trick. It would be nice though if the tool would respect the no_proxy env var as well or at least offer a no-proxy-option.

   Still, I consider this issue resolved for now. Thanks for the help.

   no_proxy should have worked, Arachni has no concept of those env vars it but its underlying libraries honor those settings. For reliability though I generally advise unsetting env vars and configuring Arachni directly since that's something I can control.
