    Those verbose lines my test shows comes from the library. So yes, it *does*
    look for the variable. Can we perhaps change the game and you instead show us
    your code for which it doesn't work?

    See it working with libcurl:

    $ cd docs/examples && make -sj
    $ http_proxy=foo:9999 ./simple
    curl_easy_perform() failed: Couldn't resolve proxy name
    $ http_proxy=localhost:80 ./simple
    [lots of HTML output]

    (since I run a proxy on localhost port 80)

Thanks Daniel. I found my issue. The deamon that handles the IO was created prior to setting the http_proxy.
