Heres two different suggestions from when I had trouble with opd. I never did get the proxy thing to work fully, but I have successfully used the tarballs I downloaded directly from the ftp site several times. I am sure it is possible to configure things so the opd wizard works in our type of situation, but it does not appear that OSCAR is designed to be used from behind an aggressive firewall setup.

There is a manual way to do it. It probably failed because it's using ftp rather than http. You can manually get the tarballs from:
ftp://sponge.ncsa.uiuc.edu/oscar/repository/
And then untar into /var/lib/oscar/packages/

Mike,
I think the fix to your opd problem is to define an environmental variable with the name "http_proxy" and set it to your web proxy, i.e.
export http_proxy=http://squid.my.place:3128/
and then it should work. Have a look at the man LWP::UserAgent in the section on env_proxy for some more examples. Note, you define these variable in your environment, not in the perl scripts. This is all
similar to what is used by lynx and a number of other command line browsers.
