@Madhusudan please test by setting *https_proxy* e.g.
export https_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:8080/
bzr info lp:bzr

lp url lookup requires an HTTPS request, not plain HTTP, and just
setting an HTTP proxy isn't enough.

That said, I expect it will fail as we have just fixed a bug in HTTPS
proxy support in bzr 2.2, which is also present in 2.1, and we
probably need to backport it to 2.1.

Vincent - perhaps you'd be interested in doing that today? Should be a
no-brainer.
