Is there any way to get the verifying server to issue $c->check_answer() via a proxy? Our nice sysadmins have firewalled outgoing port 80 on the production web server cluster. I tried setting http_proxy envar with no success. Vik :v)

I also needed the outgoing requests to use a proxy. The attached patch implements that with a 1-line code change plus some additional POD. Regards Grant
