Zend_Service_Twitter & Zend_Oauth_Token_Access behind proxy? - http

Question

I'm currently stuck with some of Zend's methods, im trying to make a simple Zend_Service_Twitter request through a proxy, however i keep getting:
Unable to Connect to tcp://api.twitter.com:80. Error #0:
php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed.
I am able to do http calls with the Zend_Http_Client library by itself, so I believe my problem is with the code where I pass the httpClient instance to the Zend_Service_Twitter... But enough rant i guess, basically I have the following:
$config = array(
'adapter' => 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Proxy',
'proxy_host' => self::PROXY_HOST,
'proxy_port' => self::PROXY_PORT,
'timeout' => 240,
);
$httpClient = new Zend_Http_Client(self::TWITTER_API_URL, $config);
$token = new Zend_Oauth_Token_Access;
$token->setParams(array(
Zend_Oauth_Token_Access::TOKEN_PARAM_KEY => self::TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN,
Zend_Oauth_Token_Access::TOKEN_SECRET_PARAM_KEY => self::TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET
));
$twitter = new Zend_Service_Twitter(array(
'username' => 'MYUSERNAME',
'accessToken' => $token
));
$twitter->getHttpClient($httpClient);
$response = $twitter->account->rateLimitStatus();
Any pointers would be appreciated!

While taking a closer look at the Zend_Service_Twitter class, all you need to do in order to set up the proxy parameters is this:
$twitter = new Zend_Service_Twitter(array(
'username' => 'MYUSERNAME',
'accessToken' => $token
));
$twitter->setLocalHttpClient($twitter->getHttpClient($httpClient));
($httpClient being an instance of Zend_Http_Client which contains your proxy configuration)
