Yes, it did work! Thanks a lot! I needed to unset env vars.
Normally setting it as null is enough for other softwares to ignore it. I guess wine could also follow that behavior.
I just checked the code and it check for a special case of invalid proxy (when scheme is not http). Wouldn't it be better to simply check for a valid one? We could try to parse "$http_proxy" or "http://$http_proxy" as an URL (using WinHttpCrackUrl?) . If it fails, ignore it. I guess it would even simplify the code.
Right, I have already submitted a patch in that direction.
In a quick look, it seems that proxy support is very limited. It does not support https, and it looks like it also does not support authentication. Would it help to create new bugs for each of those missing features?
Sure.
