I currently have my Myth arrangement behind a proxy... I use tcsh, so instead of it is more of "setenv http_proxy "http://xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq:port#"; I put these in the .tcshrc files of the root and myth users. My proxy does not require user/password. Bash (shell) users would have a different arrangement. This works fine for everything I have tried EXCEPT for the weather and news functions. I have yet to determine how to get those to go through.
