Here is a modified version of web.client.getPage() that I use behind a proxy:

def getPage(url, contextFactory=None, *args, **kwargs):
    scheme, host, port, path = _parse(url)
    factory = HTTPClientFactory(url, *args, **kwargs)
    if 1: # use a proxy
        host, port = 'proxy', 6060
        factory.path = url
    if scheme == 'https':
        from twisted.internet import ssl
        if contextFactory is None:
            contextFactory = ssl.ClientContextFactory()
        reactor.connectSSL(host, port, factory, contextFactory)
    else:
        reactor.connectTCP(host, port, factory)
    return factory.deferred


Hope this helps,
