Ok, I've verified the curl extension is running. I am using 1.8.3
MediaWiki, and I put $wgHttpProxy = true; into my LocalSetting.php file.
This is the extension I am using:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GISWiki/RSS
My PHP is extremely weak (I am working on learning it now), so I can't
tell if the feed supports it or not. Would appreciate any additional
guidance you can give.
Thanks!
Dave

Yes, at least assuming
* You've got the curl extension installed (it's available and simple
to install for Windows, Unix and Linux, so no real excuse)
* You're running a fairly recent version of MediaWiki
* The RSS feed uses the MediaWiki-provided methods for getting the
data, which it quite possibly doesn't
If all the above are satisfied, then setting $wgHttpProxy in
LocalSettings.php should be adequate.
Note: We don't support proxy authentication at present. This seems
like a sensible enough thing to add, and isn't exactly difficult.
