Proxies are a big mess, so my first idea is to let someone else do the hard work. More concretely, I was thinking if libcurl, for which there are already Guile bindings: http://www.lonelycactus.com/guile-curl.html But I can't say if the functionality of libcurl is sufficient for all network access done by Guix.
