 * Geeeee… I’ve spent hours trying to nail out HOW to get WP to use my proxy!!! 
   I’ve included the following to wp-config.php:
 * define(‘WP_PROXY_HOST’, ‘www-gw.foi.se’);
    define(‘WP_PROXY_PORT’, ‘8080’);
 * Restarted my Bitnami stack (running WP on Windows), but when I try to update 
   plugin settings I get timeouts and I’m 100% sure they’re proxy related! Why, 
   oooh why, isn’t there a simple proxy settings area in Settings-General or whatever…
   in WP???
 * FYI I’ve also tried to add some ‘WP_PROXY_USERNAME/PASSWORD’ settings to no avail…
 * I really, really hope there is anybody out there who knows what to do…
 * Cheers

 * Does your proxy require a userid and password?

 * Also check your proxy logs to confirm that your proxy is even getting those update
   requests.
