I have http_proxy and https_proxy set system-wide. Most things in emacs
honor these settings, for example w3m. But list-packages fails.
My proxy settings take the form:
http_proxy="http://username:password@squid_ip:3128"
https_proxy="http://username:password@squid_ip:3128"
After invoking list-packages I always get prompted for the proxy
username and password. If I enter them it has no positive effect; I
merely get prompted again and again.
I looked through the variables in the package group but saw nothing that
related to proxies.
Is this a known issue? Does it have a workaround other than removing the
proxy config and rebooting so as to remove the burden of dealing with
the proxy?
Sincerely,
Carlos Konstanski
