Description of problem: When I set a proxy in network proxy preferences and I set https proxy or I toggle the checkbox "use the same proxy for all protocols", system set the environment variable http_proxy but not https_proxy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.22.2.1-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Just set proxy for all protocol, open a shell and type "env | grep proxy", you should got only http_proxy and no_proxy environment variables. Steps to Reproduce: 1. set proxy in "network proxy preferences" (set also https proxy or check the "use the same proxy for all protocols") 2. open a terminal 3. type "env | grep proxy" Actual results: you get only http_proxy and no_proxy environment variables Expected results: you should get also https_proxy
It can't, because you can't change the envvar of already started shells. So changing the proxy settings wouldn't change the proxy settings of already started applications/shells.
