>Description:
The documentation for fetch (man 3 fetch) indicates that setting HTTP_PROXY will only let fetch requests for HTTP resources run through the proxy server.  We have a setup where FTP is open to us, but HTTP is proxied.  With this variable set HTTP and FTP seem to go through the proxy first.  Unsetting the variable fixes FTP, but does not allow me to us HTTP.
>How-To-Repeat:
Allow FTP out through your network, and proxy HTTP.  Set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable and watch where the FTP requests go out through.
