Hi there,

I've a short code review here that removes the well-intentioned, but misguided support for authenticated web proxies from pkg(1) I've another RFE filed to implement this better, though it's a low priority at the moment.

This doesn't disable their use completely, it just goes back to the old way these were supported in pkg(1), where users need to either set a $http_proxy environment variable that contains their credentials (unless they want to hardcode them in the url supplied to the --proxy argument, which is not recommended at present, obviously)

There's a webrev at:

https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/pkg/timf/envvars-considered-harmful/webrev

        cheers,
                        tim
