Failed to connect to proxy

[MarcoSero]

Hello

I am using em-twitter through tweetstream, but I can't get it working with a http proxy.

This is my stack trace, basically it just can't connect to the proxy:

I tried on 2 different machines, my local dev environment with Charles set up as http proxy and the production machine, which uses a proxy to go out to the internet.
On both machines, same result.

This is what I get in Charles, not sure if it's helpful:

Did anyone get it working?

EDIT: tried with SquidMan as well, same result unfortunately.

I haven't used a proxy myself and don't have a Charles license to test with but will try to reproduce with squid.
