Public bug reported:

When using a mahara site with proxy enabled , remote avatar function
does after trying to get the avatar from the internet(after 120 s) .This
makes browsing the site really slow behind a firewall . This happens due
to the fact that get_headers function under lib/user.php page does not
support proxy calls .

A way to get around this is to use stream_context_set_default before
call to get_headers and use the proxy there.

Patch for the fix has been submitted.
