That might not, but the fact that the value does not include http:// seems
to! Looking through the library code, there is a first regex match which
strips out protocol and then another that gets the host part -- and that one
requires the // to preceede it. So the http_proxy setting really has to be
HTTP_PROXY="http://192.168.0.1:9191"

Note that python recognizes both HTTP_PROXY and http_proxy, as well as any
other capitalization, but some other programs may only accept the lowercase
version. It is certainly more common.
