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 variables.  I
created /etc/systemd/system/mpd-sima.service.d/override.conf
with

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:80";
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:80";

and restarted mpd-sima.  In /proc/<pid>/environ I can see both
environment variables, but from both strace and mpd-sima's log I can
see that it's failing to connect to last.fm.  I was able to get it to
work by hacking fetch_ws in http.py and manually specifying proxies:

    @Throttle(WAIT_BETWEEN_REQUESTS)
        def fetch_ws(self, prepreq):
            proxies = {
                "http"  : "http://proxy.company.com:80";,
                "https" : "http://proxy.company.com:80";
            }
            """fetch from web service"""
            sess = Session()
            sess.proxies = proxies
            resp = sess.send(prepreq, timeout=SOCKET_TIMEOUT)
    ...

but that's obviously not the right way to do it.  Not being a python
hacker I'm not sure how to tell why the envrironment variables aren't
working, but it seems like having some better way of configuring
proxies might be desirable anyhow.
