The problem is that the library that you are using might not be honouring the environment variable set. It might be a simple library written by someone who didn't implement using proxies. The solution is to either use a different library OR explore the documentation of this library (whatever it is and specify the values). For example, (this is hypothetical example, I don't know what language you are using). import urllib urllib.set_proxy_server(getEnvironmentVariable(HTTP_PROXY)); urllib.urlopen(url) Do you follow?
