Curl uses the standard system name resolver functions to get the actual IP
number for the name you enter. In this case, you want to reach the host named
www.bsi.si and when curl tries to resolve its name into an IP address the
system function returns an error.

This is not curl's fault. Your system can't resolve that name while being
off-line.

Yes, because then curl can get the name information from the name server.

This is an entirely different story. This is the proxy requiring
authorization. This is either a curl bug or bad username+password entered by
you.

Could you show me the headers that curl sends in its request and the headers
the proxy replies? Edit the sensitive data before posting.
