The xmlrpclib class ServerProxy does not seem to be
able to make use of a HTTP proxy. This makes it
unusable behind a firewall where the proxy is the only
access to the destination server.

To handle this, you can use a custom transport. Here's an
example:

I have a documentation change ready to go; will check that
in once I get permission.

Documentation changed in rev. 41636. Thanks!

(Closing this bug, on the assumption that there's nothing
further to be done.)
