WordPress 2.3 is not yet available but I’m already awaiting WordPress 2.4. Why? Because it seems that we have to wait for its 2.4 release to find a way to set the parameters of a web proxy without trivially changing its source code.
In other words, before 2.4, if you want - for example - to retrieve feeds beyond your proxy, you have to edit wp-includes/class-snoopy.php changing at least the values of $proxy_host, $proxy_port and $_isproxy.

You can also look at [web_proxy] for more details into this approach
nigel: you can’t set your WordPress scripts to use a web based proxy: that is a solution that works on the browser side.
Just upgraded to 2.5 and there still seems to be no option for a proxy. But your solution (which I couldn’t find anywhere on wordpress.org) worked perfectly.
Thanks.
Shayne: I don’t know if this option is still missing or it is hidden somewhere in the source. Pleased to have been helpful, though.
I can’t figure out a way to do this in wp2.6 either. Wish someone would make this a parameter or something… or at least document it better.
There is a ticket on their trac
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4011
but it is still open and the indicated milestone is continuosly postponed.
