Subject: [ruby-core:45426] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6546][Open] Net::HTTP to check for HTTP_PROXY environment setting.


Issue #6546 has been reported by dekz (Jacob Evans).

----------------------------------------
Feature #6546: Net::HTTP to check for HTTP_PROXY environment setting.
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6546

Author: dekz (Jacob Evans)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal

Target version: 


@nahi suggested I request the OS environment HTTP_PROXY be honoured.

Open-uri checks for this environment setting and acts according whereas Net::HTTP does not. Not having Net::HTTP check for this condition sets precedence and stops the implementation of other environment settings (such as JRuby and JVM -Dhttp.proxyHost). 

Having this functionality will greatly enable testing with proxies rather then monkey patching or rewriting to always use HTTP.Proxy.
