Hello, forgive me to bring that http proxy issue again.
I'm running calibre 3.0 on a 10.12.5 macOS and we are now using an authenticated proxy here. My system proxy setup has my username/password configured in Preferences but calibre does not pick up these, only the hostname & port (and thus timeout when trying to access the Internet).
I am not going to put my password in the http_proxy environment variable, ever.
Is there a way for Calibre to pick up the credentials too and use them?
PS: Using tsocks (a command-line SOCKS proxy) with calibre but it has recently stopped working like all Python-based apps, presumably because you can't inject a shared library (the way tsocks work) into the system python
