I used to have to use a proxy for a work machine, before they cutover
to a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) program that used the internal CA with
a TLS interception proxy.

For the proxies, I used to set all four variations (and export them):

   * http_proxy
   * https_proxy
   * HTTP_PROXY
   * HTTPS_PROXY

And I used to set them multiple places:

   * /etc/environment
   * Root and user's .bashrc

There's also a {no_proxy|NO_PROXY} envar to keep local machine traffic
from trying to use a proxy. It would look something like:

   * no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1,::1"
   * NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1,::1"

Finally, there's a {ftp_proxy|FTP_PROXY}, but I never bothered setting
it because I used HTTP and HTTPS.
