Updating the MAC list ignores proxy settings, times out, zero's out MAC list

[jmechalas]

If you try to manually update the MACs from the FOG configuration page, your proxy settings are ignored and it tries to fetch them directly which results in a timeout, and zero's out your existing MAC list.

The issue seems to be the call to open() in fogconfigurationpage.class.php. It is not creating a context for a proxy if a proxy is defined. Manually adding this code resolves the issue:

        $context= stream_context_create(array(
            'http' => array(
                'proxy' => 'tcp://PROXY_ADDRESS_HERE',
                'request_fulluri' => true
            )
        ));
        $url = 'http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt';
        if (($fh = fopen($url, 'rb', false, $context)) === false) {
            throw new Exception(_('Could not read temp file'));
        }

This of course is hardcoding a proxy so it's not a "proper" fix, but it does confirm the issue.
