Comment (by futtta):

 just bumping up, support for proxies is very important if we want to
 enable '''intranet-deployments of wordpress'''. servers on an intranet
 rarely have a direct connection to the internet (proxy or even no
 connection at all). currently this means wordpress will stop working after
 some time, with timeouts caused by attempts to connect to the internet to
 check for updates for core/ plugins.

 not only should one be able to configure a proxy (+ proxy authentication
 info), you should also be able to specify there is no connection to the
 internet at all?

 i tried to add 'return false' to a number of update functions, but ended
 up disabling fsockopen in php.ini all together. a pain, really.
