[Reportbug-maint] Bug#717563: reportbug: web access thru proxy not available

[Olaf Zaplinski]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when reportbug asks for a proxy server and I enter the apt.conf proxy 
setting
http://user:pass@proxyhost.example.com:8080
then internet access still fails. This is also true when I
1. set the correct environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy and 
ftp_proxy
2. do not enter proxy setting when reportbug asks for it.
