[framework] Is it possible to use update behind a proxy ?

[Dennis Günnewig]

Hi Border,

i downloaded the 2.7-branch of msf to see, if the update happens via subversion and it happens. So search for "servers"-file below
".subversion". There you are going to find the settings svn update uses to download updates through a proxy. This should work with
both versions: windows and *nix.
