running linux-clients with BOINC client version 5.2.13 for i686-pc-linux-gnu

in forum: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ forum_thread.php?id=208 is described an idea to use a proxy. When I set

http_proxy=belugua.bgc-jena.mpg.de:3128 ; HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy ; export http_proxy HTTP_PROXY

the client will give me this:
2006-02-21 14:14:50 [http://climateprediction.net/] Couldn\'t access URL http://climateprediction.net/.
The project\'s servers may be down, in which case please try again later.
:-/
Who can help me ?
thanx. B.Smolny

Depends what shell you are using but in bash I run a shell script
to startup the boinc binary and include the http_proxy in that script

#!/bin/bash
...
...
export HTTP_PROXY=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080
...
/$SGEMYDIR/boincbin -update_prefs http://climateprediction.net

This is machines with private IPs, accessing the internet via a proxy
