Just to report back, I successfully used this and the instructions Michael
Halstead provided, from https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2012-May/008966.html
to work around my non-working Sony proxy issue.
So thank you both very much! I completed several builds in the past week,
and am looking forward to doing some experimentation with my
own custom distribution, for some research I'm doing.
I should note that this is independent of the work being done by Sony's
internal distribution team, who have been working to migrate Sony's internal
Linux distribution to the Yocto Project for a few months now.
