not a direct answer to your question.. but I would recommend to look into
using something like this:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Working_Behind_a_Network_Proxy
http://gitolite.com/git-over-proxy.html

I have used that a lot in the past, when I had to deal with corporate
firewalls, and it doesn't require that you patch any recipe.
