$ http_proxy=http://proxy-syd-1.comdyn.com.au/
$ curl http://blah.org/
curl: (5) Couldn't resolve proxy 'proxy-syd-1.comdyn.com.au/'

the trailing / in $http_proxy which is perfectly
valid causes curl to fail to interpret the host.

this is rather ironic for a program that groks urls :)

    curl groks urls pretty good I'd say, but a proxy server name is not really a URL...

    Problem fixed in CVS just now!
