Hi Konrad,

It turned out to come from a typo in Guile 2.2=E2=80=99s web client, now fi=
xed
here:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?h=3Dstable-2.2&id=3D7=
d0d9e2c25c1e872cfc7d14ab5139915f1813d56

and I=E2=80=99ve done some monkey-patching here:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=3D59da6f04f45b36696=
a9385babab3080d7d854fba

I=E2=80=99ll update the =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 package soon so that this ch=
ange is available to
daemon-side code such as =E2=80=98guix substitute=E2=80=99.  In the meantim=
e you can run
the daemon from a checkout:

  sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon =E2=80=A6

For reference, I used this command to test proxy support:

  http_proxy=3Dhttp://localhost:8118 \
  ./pre-inst-env guix download http://www.gnu.org

where Privoxy is listening to localhost:8118.

Thanks for reporting the issue!
