Another interesting thing, is that if I remove the library card# and branch number, then the Overdrive Plugin is able to get book information from my library with no problem. It only fails when I add the branch number, and the card #.
The sign in process uses https instead of http for security. One thing you could try is to also set an "https_proxy" environment variable. Also, in Linux environment variables are case sensitive and I'm not sure if this should be upper or lower case. (In the calibre manual "http_proxy" is in lower case.)

I'll look at this some more and see if I can come up with any other possible solutions.
