I am very new to the curl program, But found its great.
I have an issue with proxy's which i hope i can be pointed in the right
direction.

I use the following command at work using transparent proxy's and the
data is uploaded and processed correctly (and it generates and sends a html
file back to me. ).

curl -F mdsData=@ukblx082.mup -F sendfile="Upload file"
http://www.foo.com/webapp/set2/mds/mds

I then issue the same command but go via a proxy (on a customer network) to
get to the same website it uploads the file and then hangs :-

curl -F mdsData=@ukblx082.mup -F sendfile="Upload file"
http://www.foo.com/webapp/set2/mds/mds -x http://proxy.proxy.foo.net:8080 -v

I then get the following (using -v)

* About to connect() to proxy proxy.proxy.foo.net port 8080
* Trying 999.999.999.220... connected
* Connected to proxy.proxy.foo.net (999.999.999.220) port 8080

It just then hangs and does not give me anymore info.
