Macports and http proxy

[James Berry]

Hi Quintin,

Please be aware that MacPorts' use of curl is through libcurl only. I  
don't believe libcurl reads .curlrc. Furthermore, In looking at the  
PextLib curl code, it also doesn't look to me as if any of the proxy  
environment variables are being used (I don't see the word proxy  
anywhere in that file).

You might choose to file a bug if you feel this is a bug.

James
