Description Mike Hommey 2004-02-05 08:01:15 UTC 
*** This bug is a wishlist bug. ***

Currently, the behaviour of the no_proxy variable is to disable the proxy
use. On the other hand, other software like links or wget, use the same
variable to disable proxy ONLY for hosts/domains listed in the comma
separated list provided in the variable.
That means that libxml, and therefore all programs using libxml, have a
behaviour with proxies different from what one could expect.

An example (and typical) environment setup would be :
http_proxy=http://proxy:3128/
no_proxy=localhost

Then, having the no_proxy set, libxml won't try the proxy for non localhost
hosts...

Not very high priority, we take patches :-)

Oh! I almost forgot this bug :-p

Maybe one simple and good change to do ASAP (before implementing the full
thing), would be to just check if no_proxy=*, in which case it means we want to
totally disable proxy (while avoiding to disable proxy if no_proxy has a value
to be parsed).

Small patch attached.
