Due to using libcurl, paperboy is sensitive to all the environment variables which affect curl. For more on what those variables are, see curl's documentation.
But there's a chance that even this may not be enough for some users to obtain the feeds they would like. Since paperboy can operate on local files, the best option is to somehow get the file through other means and then run it through paperboy. If you use paperboyd the <get-with> element can be used to automate using other programs to get feeds rather than using paperboy's built-in interface.
