Proxy Issue

Thanks for helping me.
I am trying the get the Newspaper headline on my website.
from the link: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeedsdefault.cms
I attached the modified common.inc file .
I have done some changes in common.inc from the this link:http://drupal.org/node/7881
I have tried the following code too. But still not working.

switch ($uri['scheme']) {
  case 'http':
     //$fp = @fsockopen($uri['host'], ($uri['port'] ? $uri['port']
: 80), $errno, $errstr, 15);

into:

//use proxy settings
    $fp = @fsockopen('proxy2', '8080');

And then create the request by change from:

$request = "$method $path HTTP/1.0\r\n";

Into:

$request = "$method ".$uri['scheme']."://".$uri['host'].$path."
HTTP/1.1\r\n";

And comment out the lines:

$request .= implode("\r\n", $defaults);
