InvalidProxyEnvironmentVariable in 0.1.5.0 (Ubuntu 15.04 Cntlm)

[schernichkin]

InvalidProxyEnvironmentVariable error when using proxy under Ubuntu 15.04 with Cntlm.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Cntlm, configure Ubuntu to use proxy using System Setting -> Network application.
2. Run command stack new my-project

Expected:
Except Stack will create new project.

Actual:
InvalidProxyEnvironmentVariable error.

Here is the stack --version output:

$ stack --version
Version 0.1.5.0, Git revision a30f022c3dca7c489e08f31908ea77c3bf305375 (2159 commits) X86_64

Here is the command I ran with --verbose:

$ stack new my-project --verbose
Version 0.1.5.0, Git revision a30f022c3dca7c489e08f31908ea77c3bf305375 (2159 commits) X86_64
InvalidProxyEnvironmentVariable "https_proxy" "https://localhost:3128/"

How did you get your stack executable? Is it one of the official
releases, or did you compile it yourself? If you compiled it yourself, did
you compile with Stack, or with cabal-install?

I followed instructions from: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/release/doc/install_and_upgrade.md#ubuntu for Ubuntu 15.04 (amd64)

There's currently no support in the http-client library for communicating with a proxy server over HTTPS, only over HTTP. Can you try changing the environment variable to http://localhost:3128 and see if that works?

[schernichkin]

Yes it works. I woundering why it expect https_proxy to be http://..? For unsecured connections we have http_proxy which is http://.. for secured https_proxy which is normally https://..

[snoyberg]

Because it's still connecting to the proxy server over an insecure connection, and then upgrading to a secure connection afterwards via a CONNECT interaction.
