get_meta_tags and Proxy web connection.

[Rozzy85]

Hi, I'm using the function get_meta_tags to retrieve meta data from extrenal webpages. When I test this at home it works perfectly fine but at work where I need to use it doesn't work because the computer running the HTTP server connects to the Internet via proxy. Clients accessing the server only do so on the local intranet so it's only a problem of getting the server to access data on the outside. Does anyone know of any solutions to this problem?
