Bug Description
This is related to the automatic printer driver download functionality (see also #729185).
After getting the GPG fingerprint successfully, jockey may need to contact a GPG keyserver to fetch the corresponding key. During our testing we have noticed that jockey's GPG support does not take the environment's http_proxy setting into account. This setting (as well as https_proxy) is taken into account in the other jockey components so we expected it to be used in this step as well. Hope this can be fixed.
We have a simple patch (attached) but haven't tested some corner cases yet (variable not set, variable empty).

That looks correct to me, thanks! It passes the tests as well, committed to trunk.
