If that is the case, people cannot write their username in the
http_proxy environment variable---otherwise they will not be able to
use these applications. If people do not have username in that
environment, this patch will not help us.

I think I saw you and Peff discussing down-thread that this patch
may not be needed, so if that is the case it is good---we won't have
to worry about it.

Thanks.
