Translate widget hangs when internet connection is through proxy

[echuraev]

At my work I have internet connection though proxy server and when I try to translate something then the whole awesome wm session is hangs. Only killing and restarting awesome wm can help. At home I have direct internet connection and I don't have the same problem. Do you know how can I solve this problem?

I have set environment variables:

export http_proxy=http://my-proxy-server:my-port/ 
export https_proxy=https://my-proxy-server:my-port/

Hmm, it seems like Lua's ssl.https lib does not support proxy. But I guess it could be achieved somehow. Such change could be a good pull request =)
