Medline through proxy?

Hi all,

echo $http_proxy
http://USER:PASSWORD-JSHV3JGXi3ZJ4ibD9idTO6blKRhlhXods0AfqQuZ5sE@public.gmane.org:3128

echo $HTTP_PROXY
http://USER:PASSWORD-JSHV3JGXi3ZJ4ibD9idTO6blKRhlhXods0AfqQuZ5sE@public.gmane.org:3128

And yet: Medline search attempt results in the error below - any hints?

Thanks, Joh
