This is unusual, curl do not recognize it for one. What bzr is
currently expecting is:

http_proxy=http://nw-proxy.boeing.com:31060

Also note that for https you can say either:

  https_proxy=https://nw-proxy.boeing.com:31060

or

  https_proxy=http://nw-proxy.boeing.com:31060

depending on whether you want your local traffic (between you and
the proxy) to be encrypted or not.

That should solve your immediate problem.

But I'm still surprised, can you tell me what other programs
recognize this syntax in the environment variables ?
