   # an http proxy server to use (enter server FQDN)
   proxy_hostname = myproxy.example.com
   
   # port for http proxy server
   proxy_port = 8080
   
   # user name for authenticating to an http proxy, if needed
   proxy_user =
   
   # password for basic http proxy auth, if needed
   proxy_password =
