Comment:

 I've created and attached a few patches:

 /wp-config-sample.php - adds support for proxy variables in the sample
 config file.

 /wp-includes/functions.php - adds proxy support for fsockopen

 /wp-includes/class-snoopy.php - adds proxy support for snoopy

 /wp-includes/class-IXR.php - adds proxy support for fsockopen in the IXR-
 RPC class

 These have been tested on mirror installations - one live (no proxy, so no
 options in wp-config.php set) and one local (with proxy, options set in
 wp-config.php). Both appear to work well. I think if no proxy is set the
 change would be transparent. What needs further testing is how the changes
 respond in a proxy environment. At the moment Snoopy works well in my
 environment, but I'm a little less clear on fsockopen and how that will
 respond, particularly in an environment where HTTP authentication is used.
