You don't need anything "from the Lynx source" to change that program
so that it uses a proxy. And it doesn't have anything to do with
"Firewall Lynx Source Code", really...
Say "proxy" if you mean an HTTP proxy. Whatever else that "Firewall"
is or does (basically a marketing term), it's irrelevant. (Unless
it isn't - in which case you have to talk to whoever runs it anyway.)
Replace
#define ENGINE_HOST "www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov"
#define ENGINE_PORT 80
with
#define PROXY_HOST "proxy.cli.di.unipi.it"
#define PROXY_PORT 8080
and then replace the ENGINE_* symbols with PROXY_* throughout.
Replace
"POST /cgi-bin/BLAST/%s HTTP/1.0\n"
with
"POST http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/BLAST/%s HTTP/1.0\n"
That should be all. Or not - I may have overlooked something.
Or that proxy rejects your request for some silly reason.
