Comment 4 for bug 509543

@Karthik: http_proxy is an environment variable, it's not considered when specified in bazaar.conf.
You should do 'set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyip:port' before launching
bzr from the command line or just add that variable in your windows
system properties/advanced/environment variables or whatever applies).

It may be a good idea to recognize it as a config variable though, but please file a *new*
bug for that, adding comments on already fixed bugs or even worse on duplicates make
it harder to track progress.
