    OnMacOS,Ifoundthebestsolutionhere.Quotingtheauthor,twosimplestepsare:
    1)OpenTerminalanddothefollowing:
    exporthttp_proxy=http://staffproxy.ul.ie:8080
    exportHTTP_PROXY=http://staffproxy.ul.ie:8080

    2)RunRanddothefollowing:
    Sys.setenv(http_proxy="http://staffproxy.ul.ie:8080")

    Youneedtospecifytheportseparately,andwillprobablyneedtogiveyouruserlogindetailsas
    networkcredentials,e.g.,
    opts<list(
    proxy="999.999.999.999",
    proxyusername="mydomain\\myusername",
    proxypassword="mypassword",
    proxyport=8080
    )
    getURL("http://stackoverflow.com",.opts=opts)

    Remembertoescapeanybackslashesinyourpassword.YoumayalsoneedtowraptheURLin
