Description

Hi,
I observed strange behavior using the flag use_same=y for "Use same values for https and ftp"
This led to the creation of the two variables http_proxy/https_proxy pointing to the same http://[auth@]host:port of the proxy
From my experience I can tell that most of the time http_proxy variable shall point to http urls and https_proxy to https version.

Do you experience the same?
