--single fails if proxy can't see site #622

Error you are encountering
The background, I was trying to test an install against a local Nessus instance so I ran this:
$ ./EyeWitness.py --single https://localhost:8834 -d /tmp/ness
This should create a report in /tmp/ness but instead it dumped the HTML from the page to screen.
It created /tmp/ness and put the source and screenshot in it, but it didn't create the report.html file.
When the script runs I see:

The mention of squid made me realise that I'd ran this earlier in the same session so I could get EW installed:
export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128
export https_proxy=http://localhost:3128
So EW is obeying the export and trying to use the proxy, the proxy is working in a way that means it can't see the local box (long story) and so EW can't get the screenshot.
Instead of failing gracefully, it dumps the HTML from the proxy to screen but still manages to create the report directory.
I can help create a test environment for this if you need one.
