Hi sawyer x! I have just created an account on github.com and filed an appropriate issue (Titel: "delay while running dancer behind (corporate) proxy and firewall"). Greetings, Stefan Am 21.11.2010 13:00, schrieb sawyer x:
Hi Stefan.
Thank you for spotting this issue.
Would it be possible for you to open up an issue for this on Github Issues[1]?
It would be much easier for us to track and fix it.
Thank you!

Hello!
Making my first moves on the "development dance floor" I stumbled over an issue I'd like to mention: When I ran "dancer -a mywebapp" to start my first application on a linux machine, the shell/command seemed to freeze. Quite confused I realized after some tries, that the helper script ("/usr/local/bin/dancer") finally finished sucessfully - but only after round about 3 minutes of apparently doing nothing!
What happend? Using "strace" I found out, that the helper script tries to establish an internet connection. I traced it down to the subroutine "version_check". Obviously this subroutine checks whether the locally installed version of "Dancer" is up to date. To achieve this, an HTTP-request to "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer/CHANGES" is made.
Basically this is a good idea, but in my case it also was the cause for the unexpected bevahiour/delay: The linux machine I was using is located behind a corporate web proxy - direct internet access is not possible. That proxy was configured properly in the linux system (environment variable "http_proxy") and on applicaton level (e. g. CPAN access). Unfortunately the helper script does not seem to utilise proxy settings and gets caught by some default timeout mechanisms.
>From my point of view it would be nice, if the helper script was able to cope with proxies - at least it would be nice, if the script printed out some message about the attempted internet access. Could be a valuable hint for proxy-plagued novice like me ;-)
