Hi

http_proxy understands the format <username>:<password>@<my 
proxy>:<proxy port> so in this case the @ is probably being interpreted 
as server identifier.  I would try enclosing the user name in single 
quotes or adding a \ before the @.  If these do not work your only 
option may be to contact the proxy admin and obtain a username without 
the @
