LibXML validation using an external DTD through a proxy?

[jhughe90]

I'm trying to validate an XML doc using LibXML using an external DTD.
The problem is the HTTP request needs to go through a proxy, and LibXML
doesn't seem to provide any support for this. It doesn't support an
LWP UserAgent via any means nor does it process HTTPx_PROXY ENV
variables. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?


Thanks,
Jeff

I think storing a DTD, that you don't own or publish, locally for
validation is bad idea. There's no reason that proxy support can't be
added to LibXML.
