I am new octave user, and I am trying to use the urlread() method w/in octave, but I am getting url resolution errors.  How can I specify the proxy server and any other internet connection properties?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Octave uses libcurl internally to implement these functions. Accotding to libcurl documentation, you should be able to specify a proxy through the appropriate environment variables. Please see [1], section "Proxies", paragraph "Environment Variables".
