Running EPrints 3.4 with Perl 5.22 behind a HTTP proxy (and using HTTPS), I find that on the Admin::EPM screen, the list of available packages fails to load.

Adding the following lines to ingredients/bazaar/plugins/EPrints/EPM/Source.pm solves that problem:

use strict;
use LWP::Protocol::https; # <-- Add this line.
#...
sub accolades
{
        my( $_ua, $_base_url ) = @_;
 
        my $ua = ( $_ua ) ? $_ua : LWP::UserAgent->new;
        $ua->env_proxy;  # <-- Add this line.

I have not put this as a pull request as the actual code will need to be more carefully changed (e.g. dependent on Perl version) and I can't guarantee this is a complete fix as there may be related problems I haven't hit yet.

I also suspect that LWP::Protocol::https will not always be installed on a repository's server, so will cause dependency issue on future upgrades for a problem that only presents itself if you are using an HTTP proxy.

I can see there is the DEB liblwp-protocol-https-perl and the RPM perl-LWP-Protocol-https, so it should be fairly easy to install.

I will make sure 3.4.2 packages include the package dependencies and otherwise update install instructions.

LWP::Protocol::https is already used by EPrints and you will get a warning message on the Bazaar page if it is not installed telling you to install it. use_proxy is already used when loading the the Bazaar page itself, so adding it for loading accolades should not make any difference and make this consistent.

Installing the DEB/RPM needed for LWP::Protocol::https have been added to the dependencies on the appropriate EPrints wiki pages. They will also be added to any future eprints DEB or RPMs produced.
