[arch-general] [pkgstats] Patch to allow pkgstats to submit info through a proxy (if this is setted on http_proxy)

[Angel Velásquez]

Hi,

I've been trying to submit my stats to the statistics page [1], then I
realized that I wasn't submitting anything (I had pkgstats running on
a cron). Then I decided to find the reason and it's simply I am behing
a noisy and non-transparent proxy (ISA Server which is even worst).

So, I decided to do a little patch to pkgstats, I've tested and now
it's working .. (I am checking if the http_proxy env var is empty and
else I am setting a variable called prox which have the value of the
proxy).

Just that ;), patch attached
