From b2c8c6d944722f9a4f27370f4e89d13f61243302 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Buchacher Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2012 17:50:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxy The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols. Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and all_proxy as well. Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.
