What about:
HTTP_PROXY URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests. The docu-
ment part is ignored. Only HTTP proxies are sup-
ported for HTTP requests. If no port number is spec-
ified, the default is 3128.
Note that this proxy will also be used for FTP docu-
ments, unless the FTP_PROXY variable is set.
How does that not cover it?
