Summary: curl ignoring http_proxy on intel mac?

Initial Comment:
curl appears to be ignoring the http_proxy environment
variable, i believe that this may be a bug, if it is in
curl or the OS-compiled version i am unsure...

Here is some output from the command line

local:~ user$ echo $http_proxy
http://www-cache.usyd.edu.au:8080/
local:~ user$ curl http://www.smh.com.au/text/index.html -v
* About to connect() to www.smh.com.au port 80
* Trying 203.26.51.42... ^C
local:~ user$ curl --proxy $http_proxy
http://www.smh.com.au/text/index.html

<< SMH web page>>

local:~ user$

It seems that curl only works if i pass it the proxy
explicitly with $http_proxy.. this seems to be at odds
with what i have read in the man page.

Thanks

What version version? (curl -V)

"if it is in curl or the OS-compiled version i am unsure." ?
Did you install your own version or not?
