The comment suggests support was added at that time.

Indeed proxy is supported and works if unauthenticated. It gets host:port via
NPN_GetValueForURL/NPNURLVProxy and sets http_proxy env var accondingly.
If there is user authentication though, NPN_GetValueForURL doesn't provide
credentials so gnash can't authenticate.

Workaround is manually setting http_proxy with credentials and also disabling
browser proxy config so that http_proxy var won't be reset w/o credentials.
Though that breaks more complex proxy configurations via .pac where proxy may
vary or be absent depending on the destination.

If proxy credentials can't be got from browser as it seems, fix might be a
gnashrc directive (comment #2), even multiple to support complex
configurations.
