Comment 5 for bug 1753340

I have to say that I don't understand why the build servers aren't using transparent proxies.

What ever was the logic behind making them require auth?

Given the builds are meant to use the proxy and I assume the builds are running in a closed environment and hence there is no need for the proxies to be public why on earth would they require authentication.

The other issue here is that I shouldn't be required to customize my snapcraft.yaml just to make it work on the build servers.

The plugins should make running on a build server transparent.
In this case it means the plugins should know about the build server proxies settings and pick them up and run with them without requiring any special config.

Of course if we go back to my earlier point (transparent proxies) this would be a moot point.
