QM was tested in an environment which included a firewall requiring the 
proxy settings. It worked fine in that environment when the following 
fields were set with the same proxy entries that worked in our Netscape 
browser:

my $proxy   = '';                             # proxy server
my $port    = '';                             # proxy server port
my $noproxy = '';                             # local domain

The $proxy should work with either IP address or name.

Example:

my $proxy   = '193.32.226.03';                # proxy server
my $port    = '8081';                         # proxy server port
my $noproxy = '193.32.226.*';                 # local domain

Note, upon looking at the code if the $noproxy entry is ='' then proxy 
is not used. Make sure all three have a value. This will be changed in a 
future version since there should not be a need for a $noproxy entry.
