Comment 14 for bug 1843486

If we are waiting on changes to sstream-mirror-glance, that comes from python3-simplestreams-openstack, which is built from simplestreams, it should be added to this bug.

I believe the request is to modify sstream-mirror-glance and add the ability to set something like mirror-http-proxy, mirror-https-proxy, mirror-no-proxy for the purpose of connecting to the mirror -- but not for any other connections.

The idea is that communication to the mirror sometimes requires a proxy whereas communication with glance and swift rarely does. In those rare situations, a system-wide proxy could be used. But mirror*proxy settings would allow us to better target what needs a proxy without having to carefully craft a no-proxy variable (which can sometimes be difficult if the subnet where glance and swift are is particularly large and they can get any IP in that subnet).
