I do use http_proxy env but I cannot remember why
but I had to set as HTTP_PROXY (all upper case)
and not the usual "http_proxy".

Note that some proxy do not accept to relay http-1.1 request but only http-1.0
(I'm behind such proxy... see bug
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8903)

from cmake 2.8.1-rc1 and up you should be able to tell ctest to use http1.0
using the

--http1.0 command line switch.
