When I am running nmap inside my corporate network, the scripts that try to pull data from (such as the RIPE query) don't work. My Internet access is through a non-transparent proxy server that requires authentication. I don't know if there should be a category to specify scripts that require Internet access or some sort of lookup capability or if there should be a way to script up some proxy credentials instead.
Hi Jason. Interesting use case. For certain types of Internet access, such as HTTP requests, I think it would make a lot of sense to have standard library calls for such common requests. And those libraries could honor proxy-related variables if they are set. We could do a similar thing for passing in general authentication credentials for scripts which require them.
