Re: proxy support

From the man page of pacman:

       ProxyServer = <host | ip>
              If set, pacman will use  this  proxy  server  for  all  ftp/http
              transfers.
 
       ProxyPort = <port>
              Use  this to set a different port for your proxy server (default
              is 80).

So I assume that it is for ftp or http proxies, you throw those lines in your pacman.conf file.
