In theory it should work if you use the python scripting rather than the
GUI and/or scheme scripting (that is after setting http_proxy). So,
please try in the python scripting window:

get_ebi_pdb("your_pdb_code")

or

get_eds_pdb_and_mtz("your_pdb_code")

Subject: [COOT] how to tell coot to use a specific http_proxy
