In response to a Yocto Bugzilla request[1] I've written a sanity test to check whether BitBake is able to fecth from http, https and git sources. The idea being that if the user is behing a proxy and this test fails we can more easily help them diagnose and fix their problem.
I've built on the existing infrastructure for less frequent sanity tests so whilst this test is reasonably heavy it will only run when TMPDIR changes (usually first run?). Further I added a variable to disable just this sanity check. People shipping offline installs to customers should just be able to set the variable in their shipped configuration and not worry about this sanity check irritating people. The error message points to a wiki page[2] which is pretty vanilla right now but the intention would be to flesh it out with guidance on common proxy/nat/etc issues.
