We've been having problems with RSS feeds (they don't work when behind a proxy) and was wondering if there was a timescale attached to fixing this bug? (Howard filed it only just today but he swears he filed it separately some time ago... hmmm, you can never really be sure with him though
)

Someone else filed a bug a while ago - bug #3014. Howard filed #3048 today, which I have closed as a duplicate.
We hope to fix it for the 1.1 release. I think the fix can be backported to the 1.0 branch, but I can't tell you for certain when it will be fixed. In the next couple of months would be my best guess.

Well after applying the patch bug #3014. it doesn't work. But the patch have one line missing that should fix the problem. In my case that has worked with little alteration. As our installation is behind proxy / firewall.
. blocktype/externalfeed/lib.php
Start with Line 267 after
$snoopy = new Snoopy();
$snoopy->curl_path = '/usr/bin/curl'; // TODO: make configurable later. This is the default for debian
// Setup proxy handling in snoopy if defined
// TODO: configure from DB configured by admin form somewhere?
//Start
global $cfg; // Add this line into the patch......
if (isset($cfg->proxyhost)) {
$snoopy->proxy_host = $cfg->proxyhost;
$snoopy->proxy_port = $cfg->proxyport;
$snoopy->proxy_user = $cfg->proxyuser;
$snoopy->proxy_pass = $cfg->proxypass;
}
// End of the Patch

Hi - FYI, in Mahara 1.1, we have removed Snoopy, and now there is a section to specify proxy settings on the Networking page.
