What about hand-copying the file to /usr/portage/distfiles?
https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1343/RealPlayer-10.0.5.756-20050513.i586.rpm

That's the URL (I think).  Also, emerge only uses your proxy server on
FTP, HTTP, and RSYNC requests (Assuming you exported all three of those
variables.)  I don't have a clue what port 443 is all about, but I
assume that those three variables don't affect it.  I think it's secure
HTTP, so maybe it's not proxy-dependant?  Maybe it requires another
proxy variable?

I think fetching the file yourself as I mentioned above would be the
fastest way to get around your problem, though.

Winston
