Currently Guix uses Guile=E2=80=99s HTTP client, which doesn=E2=80=99t supp=
ort proxies
(the FTP client doesn=E2=80=99t either.)  It should support it though.

It shouldn=E2=80=99t be too difficult to implement, but I=E2=80=99m not too=
 familiar
with all that, so I=E2=80=99d welcome ideas and patches.  ;-)

(In the meantime, you could use wget + =E2=80=98guix hash=E2=80=99, but the=
n you=E2=80=99ll again
stumble upon that problem when Guix tries to download other things.)

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
