PagerDuty Alerts for Splunk: Can the pagerduty.py script be modified to include a section that allows the entry of a web proxy?

Hello, We are attempting to use the PagerDuty Alerts for Splunk app with our Splunk instance. We currently have our Splunk instance on a Linux server that uses a web proxy. We are able to curl to the events url from the pagerduty.py script successfully when including the proxy in the curl command, but not without. Can the python script be modified to include a section that allows for the entry of a proxy when one is being used? If so, will you be providing an updated release to accommodate this? Thanks
