Don't use the WWW class, use something like System.Net.WebClient (MSDN) or the HttpWebRequest (MSDN) class. Both of these, as far as I remember, support basic HTTP proxying.

only problem is that the request stalls all rendering.. anyway you know of yielding whilst this takes place like you can do with a WWW class yield?

Just thread the request asynchronously. Look at the System.Threading.Thread class. - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.aspx

Notice that for webplayers, WWW does handle proxies just fine. All WWW calls go through the browser and thus use its settings for proxies etc.

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/69896-Using-Unity-when-behind-a-proxy?highlight=HTTP_proxy

was finally able to solve this by setting the user ENV Variable HTTPS_proxy to http://www{my own proxy}:8000. This was instead of the HTTP_proxy. It was confusing, because apparently the "Check of Updates" does not use a secure conneciton (so it worked with HTTP_proxy), but the Assett Store does require a secrue connection.

WWW class also seems to work.
