For using a proxy server configuration with R please ensure that you use
the internet2 ddl to connect to the internet. It can be set in an R session
by using setInternet2(TRUE).
Besides all of these you should really set up a new version of R.

But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep
