Description
Bug report
Bug description:
On Windows
getproxies_environment() gets the proxy servers from environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, etc. and the proxy exceptions from NO_PROXY, returns a dict like {'http': '<URL>', 'no': '<FQDNs>'}; but getproxies_registry() gets only the proxy servers from Registry, returns a dict like {'http': '<URL>'}. These two ways to get proxies are inconsistent, a Windows user will get a proxy dict without exceptions list if he configures proxies in Settings or Internet Options (Registry).
