From: Nelson Benitez Leon Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2012 15:17:48 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] http: try http_proxy env var when http.proxy config option is not set Message-ID: <4F54D91C.6080905@seap.minhap.es> cURL already reads it, but if $http_proxy has username but no password cURL will not ask you for the password and so failed to authenticate returning a 407 error code. So we read it ourselves to detect that and ask for the password. Also we read it prior to connection to be able to make a proactive authentication in case the flag http_proactive_auth is set.
