You may use curl to investigate it:

 curl -v https://askubuntu.com/questions/267104 >/dev/null

In the output you will see:

X-Cache: MISS from proxy.example.org
X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from proxy.example.org:3128
Via: 1.0 example.computer42.org (squid)

Also you may investigate the configuration of your web browser, if the proxy configuration is part wise automated, but the shell environment stuff used by curl is forgotten.

To get an idea how this automatic configuration may be done, have a look here:
Set web proxy using pac-file-url

Ok, thanks this is a sub question to another about failed apt-get proxy Auth failures. – Ray Mar 12 '13 at 21:06
It's a clear answer which I will try tonight and if it doesn't work I'll repost. – Ray Mar 12 '13 at 21:49
