 The HTTP API will send requests through a proxy server if the
 `WP_PROXY_HOST` and `WP_PROXY_POST` constants are defined.

 If the host of an HTTP request is the same as the current host (as is the
 case when a WP-cron request is spawned) then the request won't be sent
 through the proxy and there is no way to override this (see [source:/trunk
 /wp-includes/class-http.php at 20171#L1346]).

 I use a proxy for logging and debugging HTTP requests and it's not
 possible for me to send local HTTP requests through the proxy.
