Best way to fetch remote RSS through authenticated proxy and parse it

Question

I'm trying to get a remote RSS through proxy and parse it.

I'm using magpierss, but it doesn't allow reaching internet through a proxy (or I don't know how to do it).

I assume the option is to, first, fetch the rss with curl functions, that allows proxy authenticating, but ....

are there any class to do this in a easy way, or ... does magpie support using proxy, and how?

Thanks in advance.

In extlib/Snoopy.class.inc find the following lines:

var $proxy_host     =   "";     // proxy host to use
var $proxy_port     =   "";     // proxy port to use

and set there you proxy url and port.
