> You have to understand that environment variables are in fact insecure. It is a very bad idea to store passwords there. Surprising or not, insecure is insecure. We shall not introduce this. Well, less point this to me. Since r54432, open-uri uses ENV['http-proxy']. You don't talk about ruby's policy. This ticket is less point too. http-proxy is useful for command-line utilities. Why don't you use open-uri? Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
