This should be rather easy to add. It is just a matter of setting the right option to CPLHTTPFetch() (and thus the curl library), namely : <li>PROXY=val, to make requests go through a proxy server, where val is of the form proxy.server.com:port_number <li>PROXYUSERPWD=val, where val is of the form username:password Note: They can also already be used by setting the GDAL_HTTP_PROXY and GDAL_HTTP_PROXYUSERPWD configuration options/environmenet variable, which will act on all GDAL/OGR drivers that go through the CPLHTTPFetch() function. I see Radim is already a GDAL committer, so there shouldn't be too much overhead if he wants to hack in the WCS driver. > I will let Radim comment on any other issues.
