Ignoring a proxy with bzr on Windows

[Adrian Wilkins]

I also find this rather irksome.

The issue is that the common Python libraries will read the proxy config
of IE, but does not run PAC scripts (which are typically JScript).

If IE is configured statically, I believe that works properly.

Python will also respect the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which
takes precedence over the IE config, but I've not found a way to make it
say "NO proxy" (using either urllib2 or pycurl).

Maybe this :

Would be some help... I'd really like to see something like this in the
main Python library (batteries included, remember?) since this is such a
common scenario. I can't believe that all Python developers are lone
wolves operating outside of a corporate firewall.

So I don't think this is ultimately a Bazaar issue ; but Bazaar will
have to cope with it until it improves.
