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

[Olaf Zaplinski]

Sorry, the bug still exists:

Please enter the name of your proxy server. It should only use this 
parameter if you are behind a firewall. The PROXY
argument should be formatted as a valid HTTP URL, including (if 
necessary) a port number; for example,
http://192.168.1.1:3128/. Just press ENTER if you don't have one or 
don't know.
> http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080
Default preferences file written. To reconfigure, re-run reportbug with 
the "--configure" option.
Running 'reportbug' as root is probably insecure! Continue [y|N|q|?]? y
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem, 
or type 'other' to report a more general problem. If
you don't know what package the bug is in, please contact 
debian-user at lists.debian.org for assistance.
