Ubuntu: setting proxyman wrong proxy for https #117

Open LucaMarzialetti opened 1 year ago

LucaMarzialetti commented 1 year ago

Hi, I observed strange behavior using the flag use_same=y for "Use same values for https and ftp" This led to the creation of the two variables http_proxy/https_proxy pointing to the same http://[auth@]host:port of the proxy From my experience I can tell that most of the time http_proxy variable shall point to http urls and https_proxy to https version.

Do you experience the same?

this was 5+ years back. I don't actually remember why, but there were some problems where using https for https_proxy lead to issues. Hence, I chose this route.

Anyways, I later stopped caring much since OS level settings post 2018/19 became very reliable, unlike 2015 times.
