I think the RSS feeds don't work if there is proxy server running. The
request/connection is somehow being blocked. 
The connection should be made first to the proxy and once it is
established, then request can made.
I think the core function drupal_http_request() under
/includes/common.inc doesn't support this.
One workaround is change the code from:

<?php
switch ($uri['scheme']) {
  case 'http':
     //$fp = @fsockopen($uri['host'], ($uri['port'] ? $uri['port']
: 80), $errno, $errstr, 15);
?>


into:

<?php
//use proxy settings
    $fp = @fsockopen('proxy2', '8080');
?>


And then create the request by change from:

<?php
$request = "$method $path HTTP/1.0\r\n";
?>


Into:

<?php
$request = "$method ".$uri['scheme']."://".$uri['host'].$path."
HTTP/1.1\r\n";
?>


And comment out the lines:

<?php
$request .= implode("\r\n", $defaults);
?>

Did this ever get taken care of in 4.5.2. I can't seem to get any feed
to work from behind a firewall. Getting error....
Failed to parse RSS feed Microsoft Security Info: 10060 A connection
attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond
after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond..
At home this same feed works fine, so I know it's not the feed.
Thanks,
SlackNet
