Dear Maintainer,

I use Tor Socks and these environment settings:

$ set | grep -i proxy
ALL_PROXY=socks://127.0.0.1:9050/
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16
all_proxy=socks://127.0.0.1:9050/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16

Report Bugs complains and exits:

If I put a line with “http_proxy” without arguments into ~/.reportbugrc, there is no
change. If I add “all_proxy” without argounts, Report Bug cannot reach the Debian servers:

Error retrieving information on existing bug reports from the BTS. The following error was detected:
Unable to connect to Debian BTS (error: "ServerNotFoundError('Unable to find the server at bugs.debian.org')");
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]?

I hope this report can be sent out anyway.

Reportbug currently does not support using a SOCKS proxy, see #810933.

Right, thanks for the report. "Not supporting" does not mean it may crash.

Please read the documentation on how reportbug's proxy support works.

Hi,

I just hit this bug, and I'm wondering why reportbug honors all_proxy
while it doesn't support SOOCKS proxy?

GNOME sets all_proxy and ALL_PROXY when selecting a SOCKS proxy in the
settings.

While searching the web, I didn't find a specification for all_proxy,
but it seems widely used for SOCKS.

Thanks for maintaing reportbug
