Yes, this previous thread was written by my colleague.
Now, I should fix it because it doesn't work.
I talked with my administrator and what should be set is:
http proxy, http port, user and pass.

Proxy and port I setted with putenv:
putenv ('http_proxy', '123.12.123.1');
putenv('http_port', '8080');
and it still doesn't work...

You wrote in that thread: "This is a fairly standard variable 
that many libraries and programs understand, including curl [1,2]. So 
in Octave, something like this: 
  octave:1> putenv ("http_proxy", "http://proxy.example.com:3128/";); "
