When I run the following command the connection times out:
./tabix -h ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20100804/ALL.2of4intersection.20100804.genotypes.vcf.gz 1:57000000-57001000 > test.vcf
connect: Connection timed out
[main] fail to open the data file
But if I run this it works (it might take an estimated 4 hours to download but it does connect!):
wget ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20100804/ALL.2of4intersection.20100804.genotypes.vcf.gz
So how can I query the 1000 genomes data from behind a proxy? I'm assuming that's the problem.
(P.S. What I want to know is if there's any recorded SNPs, SVs, etc in a specified region)
As of now, tabix does not support ftp proxy.
