Is it a regression? If so, what is the latest version that works? How are you setting the environment variable?
I have zsh, when I run #> http_proxy="proxy:8080" chromium no results. No problem with: #> chromium --proxy-server="proxy:8080"
What if you tell the shell to export the variable? I'm not sure how to do that in zsh. If in doubt, you can try in bash: export http_proxy="..." chromium
in zsh, like in bash, #> echo $http_proxy is correct
Seems to work for me on the dev channel (10.0.648.18). I ran the following: http_proxy="202.96.159.210:8080" chromium & netstat -n | grep 202.96.159.21 The IP is just some random open proxy I found. I'm also running KDE4.4 with no proxy configured.
Works for me in 8.0.553.237 as well.
I can't reproduce either. If you have some more data that can point to possible problems, feel free to reopen.
