Links doesn't recognise the "http_proxy" environment variable so my
proxy settings won't work without extra configuration.

Hi,

Is there any problem with implementing $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy and $no_proxy
support in Links? Offhand it looks like it's three getenv()s in the right
places, plus a little bit of parsing for $no_proxy...

It would be nice if this feature was added. TIA.
