Package: lynx Version: 2.8.9dev1-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It is risky to rely on an environment variable to specify a proxy. Any number of things can wrong, as we know from bug 791452. E.g., a user may think incorrectly that a proxy will be used, and have no idea of any failure. Having a commandline "--proxy" option would ensure that the users expectation is known to the tool. Then if anything is wrong with the users syntax or something goes wrong with the proxy, lynx can fail safely and print an error. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lynx depends on: ii lynx-cur 2.8.9dev1-2+b1 lynx recommends no packages. lynx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
