--- Comment #4 from C. Scott Ananian <[email protected]> ---
I've learned the hard way that http_proxy isn't really a standard at all. 
Hardly anything respects it, and modern software uses the system proxy settings
(set via gnome, kde, etc) instead of relying on a standard-which-isn't.  Let's
not even touch the question of whether http_proxy should be used for https
traffic.

Anyway, there's a perfectly straightforward workaround, which I've provided.

[The 'senile software' was intended to be a lighthearted joke.  I apologize if
it appeared otherwise.]
