RTC Server behind firewall - accessing RSS feeds via Proxy?

Our intranet has a firewall to the outside world. We cannot open IP/ports but can use a proxy. On OS level, we can set environment variables.

RSS Feeds from jazz.net are not loaded, dashboard shows:
There was a problem loading the feed:
The content was not a recognized feed.

How can I configure the RTC application to load the feeds via proxy?

OS: Redhat EL 5.4
WebSphere: 7.0.0.13

Following may answer your question.

# Open the administrative console.
1. Click Servers > Application Servers > server > Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties.

To access the Web proxy over HTTP:

* http.proxyHost
* http.proxyPort

To access the Web proxy over HTTPS:

* https.proxyHost
* https.proxyPort

Unfortunately there is currently no support for proxying feeds in this way in the dashboard viewlets. You may be able to find a way to configure this at the JVM level since this does use jazz.net.URL to connect, but there was no explicit support added for this. I've created a WI to track this support:
