MailChimp API through proxy

[nicholaide]

According to the post found in their google group, the MailChimp API does not support communicating via a proxy.

I have read that there are some patches like this one, and I would like to know if it possible to implement this in Gibbon. If so, kindly point me to the "right direction", i.e. which modules and files I should look into, and then I will make a pull request, assuming you want this workaround to be part of the gem.

Thank you.

Can you give me an example proxy server to hit w/ temporary test credentials? This might be easy for me to implement.

it is our institution's proxy, no password, just need port number. the format is http:// proxy.[web_address]:[port_number].
Not aware of an example /test proxy I can give you though...

This is quite an old ticket but Gibbon 2.2.0 has just been released with Proxy support thanks to a contribution by @scottwater.
