Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for your report :)
Two issues then :
[packaging] http proxies env. var should be exposed when using
systemd/SystV.
[upstream] the http client should actually use them ^^
The http client bug was forwarded upstream, the issue is
identified/nearly fixed. Python requests
Package: mpd-sima
Version: 0.13.1-1
Severity: normal
Behind a proxy, I've found it very difficult to get mpd-sima to use it
for last.fm access. python-requests documentation at
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ says it should pay
attention to the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment
