BOINC manager does not recognise HTTP_PROXY env. var content

Description (last modified by )
If the HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set to something like http://domain\user:password@proxyip
the BOINC manager sets his proxy to domain\user. Please fix this ! It is very annoying to correct this under preferences, every time I start BOINC. It should set his proxy to the real address and auto-fill password and username if available from environment variable.
Hope this helps. Good work ! Keep doing this.

Just wondering - is curl supposed to automatically use the env var for proxy authentication? Maybe there is a curl_setopt setting to tell it to use it, or maybe the application is supposed to read the env var by itself; I don't know. Gotta read the manual :)

The core client currently assumes that HTTP_PROXY is a URL; other vars are used for user name and password. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/UnixClient Is the "http://domain\user:password@proxyip" notation standard? If so please point me to a document. - David
BOINC Manager doesn't do any network communication; it's just a GUI for the daemon; changing component. Also fixed some typos on description.
