Hi Stefan,

How about always showing an Info message whenever http_proxy environment variable is set and being used by redhat-support-tool instead of just showing it when proxy_url is also set in redhat-support-tool.conf . 

IMHO its a better user experience rather than just showing it when http_proxy overrides proxy_url defined in configuration file.

The message might look like :

Info : Using proxy_url as defined in http_proxy environment variable: http://PROXY_SERVER:PORT


Please let me know your thoughts on the same.
