using an http proxy?

[Daniel Lord]

My place of employment has everything locked down except for port 80 so I
have to use an http proxy.
I can use curl from the command line with the proxy option so I know it
should work for Macports, but a web search and the reading of the Macport
Wiki, FAQ and other docs has not shown that Macports can take advantage of
the proxy option for libCURL or the curl command.
I have used the libCURL library using the libCURL proxy facility to fetch
http data with C++, so I know the proxy can work through both the library
and the command.

I suppose I could look around in the source and hack it to use a proxy
option is an arbitrarily named (by me) proxy file exists and using the proxy
for the curl command invocation. But then it would break on Macports
updates.

Is there an 'official' way to do this? One that should hold up through
Macport updates?
