Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
When setting a Socks proxy (not setting anything for HTTP) in the gnome
proxy tool, the HTTP proxy is set as an env variable which breaks usage
of all CLI applications.
$ env | grep proxy
http_proxy=http://:0/
To test, you will need an SSH server to connect to:
$ ssh -D 8080 u...@example.com
Then, open gnome-network-properties, check "Manual Configuration" and
enter "localhost" for Socks host and "8080" for the port. Open a new
terminal, and run:
$ wget http://google.com
Error parsing proxy URL http://:0/: Invalid host name.
