"Install and Update Extensions" Proxy Error

I get the following error when I try to run "Install and Update Extensions" from configure. I have setup {PROXY}{HOST} to be username:password@proxy.company.com and {PROXY}{PORT} to be port.

Consulted locations: Foswiki.org
Error accessing Foswiki.org: Can't connect to proxy.company.com:port (connect: Permission denied)

I also have another server with 1.0.10 that works, and I don't even have to use username:password@ in the {PROXY}{HOST} field.

Running this from the command line works.
http_proxy='http://username:password@proxy.company.com:port' GET http://foswiki.org/Extensions/

Any help in debugging this would be appreaciated.

I just tried 1.0.10 on the problem server and it does not work with or without the username:password. So it does seem like this is a combonation of server config and the username:password not working for me.

I was trying to figure out why my manual plugin installes were not working correctly and ran across a discussion about selinux. When I turn off selunix I can connect. I will close this isssue.
