Thank you for this information but my proxy settings does not require
authentication.

I just tried changing my proxy settings from
http_proxy=3D"http://my.proxy.server:8080" to
HTTP_PROXY=3Dhttp://my.proxy.server:8080 and it worked! :D

I will keep on monitoring that and will report back if I have any
issues.

Thank you very much for your help
