Bug #8771: Start does not use proxy configuration form ENV variables
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8771#change-41865

Author: sjltaylor (Sam Taylor)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
Category: lib
Target version: current: 2.1.0
ruby -v: 2.1.0dev
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


=begin
* Start a fake proxy in a separate window: (({nc -l 8089}))
* (({export http_proxy=http://localhost:8089}))
* (({irb -r net/http}))
* (({Net::HTTP.start('google.com').get('/')}))
* Note that the above http request was not proxied using the environment configuration
* (({Net::HTTP.new('google.com').get('/')})) exhibits the correct behaviour, the proxied HTTP request can be seen in the nc output
=end
