I was finally able to get it to work by including the username and 
password in the environment var:

HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@192.168.4.4:1234

(replace username, password and proxy address/port as necessary)

that made it work. I just have to remember to change it when I have to 
change my password, every 90 days...
