ConnectKEGG and a password protected proxy

Hi,

Recently I found this nice script to address the KEGG API
from matlab and retrieve information directly from the KEGG
database. However the company that I work for has a
password protected proxy and although matlab does ask for a
password when using its web browser, it does not prompt me
for a password if i want to go on the web using the command
prompt. This results in a 407 error:

>> className = createClassFromWsdl(wsdlURL)
??? Error using ==> createClassFromWsdl>parseWsdl
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code:
407 for URL: http://soap.genome.jp/KEGG.wsdl

Error in ==> createClassFromWsdl at 32
R = parseWsdl(wsdlUrl);

The URL does work so it seems the proxy is the problem. I
read something about the datafeed toolbox not being able to
log into a password protected proxy server. I don't know if
this also counts towards the createClassfromwsdl function

Sorry, we don't have support for proxy authentication yet in
MATLAB.

Hi All,

The message below led me to believe that I can use the
webservices client through a proxy (only not password
protected proxies). I have set Matlab to use a proxy, but
still webservice calls don't go through it; they attempt to
connect directly.

What am I doing wrong? Oh, I use Matlab 2006a.

Thanks for listening,
Leon.
