OK after a bit of experimentation and reading the man pages for curl, I've discovered curl will work if I pass it the proxy settings on the command line:
curl -x proxy.student.otago.ac.nz:3128 -U busja680:password http://URL I've tried it using all the commands used by fink selfupdate, and it works. The problem is that fink doesn't pass it proxy commands directly to curl. For some reason, my username is getting mixed up with the proxy address. I guess this is because you put them together in fink configure, but curl wants them seperate. But it says in the documentation you can just put them in the fink.conf file and it'll work. Anyone got any idea what I can do to fix this? Thanks.
