Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I have a http and https proxy configured with a required user name and password for the proxy by gnome-network-properties from the package gnome-control-center.
I applied the settings in gnome-network-properties system wide. Now in bash I get these environment variables:
$ set | grep proxy
ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.1.1:3128/
http_proxy=http://bonsai:vvvv@192.168.1.1:3128/
https_proxy=https://192.168.1.1:3128/
no_proxy='localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local,'
The last comma in the environment variable no_proxy is a *BIG* major problem ( and should prompt swift corporal punishment for the programmer responsible please ;) ) because it excludes the use of any proxy with wget. Example:
$ wget -4 -d www.google.com
DEBUG output created by Wget 1.12 on linux-gnu.

So no connection to google or any other web site at all.
But then, and please note the removal of the last comma in no_proxy
$ export no_proxy='localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local'
$ wget -4 www.google.com

Now it works.
So gnome-network-properties should set no_proxy *WITHOUT* a trailing comma.
