[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#742954: pandoc: Does not respect the http_proxy environment variable

[intrigeri at debian.org]

Package: pandoc
Version: 1.12.3.3~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm running:

    $ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3142/
    $ pandoc --self-contained -t revealjs -s slides.mdwn -o slides.html

... and pandoc connects directly to the web, while I would expect it
to respect the configured http_proxy.

This is a bit surprising to me, as pandoc uses haskell-http, that has
support for this environment variable. Maybe pandoc needs to
explicitly enable haskell-http's proxy support?

If you prefer me to report this problem upstream, just tell me :)
