All traffic from our network needs to go through a webproxy, but
apparently either apache or this code needs to know to use this proxy.
It's trying to make a port 80 request out of our network which isn't
allowed by the firewall, only via the proxy.

Good Morning Brian:

Is this because these requests need to go through non-standard ports ?

Does it work if the port is included in the http URL link ?
