Having proxy variables set in shell environment fails test.

[rajaravivarma-r]

Having proxy variables such as http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy make the tests fail. Should these environment variables be considered while running the tests?
Also unsetting those variables make the RestClientPutTest.TestRestClientPUTHeaders test fail and all others pass, since the request is made to heroku server.

you mean check for the variables and warn if they are set?

[rajaravivarma-r]

No, I am asking if those variables should be taken into account since we are just making the request to localhost except the RestClientPutTest.TestRestClientPUTHeaders. If you think its okay. Please close this issue. At least future visitors will know why their tests are failing, if they have no clue.

The tests are all calling to http://http-test-server.heroku.com. None of them should be using localhost. But afaik libcurl (which is used under the hood) does take those variables into account.

I am sorry. Didn't read the code properly. Since you had the ruby file with sinatra. I thought the requests were made to localhost.

Yea that is kinda confusing. I included it because that's the web server that is running and tested against. However it's super simple and running on a single heroku dyno. So in the future I want to run tests against http-bin.org (related issue here #12)
