$Id: emerge-webrsync 5154 2006-12-02 08:07:37Z zmedico $ http_proxy and ftp_proxy are set in make.conf only. emerge works properly, but emerge-webrsync tries direct connections, since it only reads some hard-coded values from make.conf.

I think it's better for you to set these variables in /etc/env.d/ so that they are respected globally. There's an example here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=5#doc_chap_pre3 We can update make.conf.5 and /etc/make.conf.example to recommend this.

There's an example here: [snip] In my case, there's a reason for not doing so. Consider people having different proxies for differend kind of traffic... All portage-related stuff goes one way, anything else goes the other... Why else should portage respect proxies set in make.conf?
