 * Hi
 * Our WP platform enforces the use of an HTTP proxy for all outgoing connections.
   
   WP works in this environment by using its WP_HTTP_Proxy class: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_http_proxy/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_http_proxy/)
 * This plugin however initiates HTTP requests by itself, with many curl_* invocations
   scattered around the code.
    Hence it won’t work in our environment.
 * By using the standard WP APIs such as WP_HTTP_Proxy the plugin would work in 
   such environments. Added bonus is that the code would probably be a lot cleaner
   and more future proof.
