2. Proxy set in mate-network-properties
3. A fresh terminal has environment variables HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy, http_proxy set
4. The proxy is a most recent squid HTTP proxy

Code snippet

export https_proxy=""
export http_proxy=""

// with proxy, see above
let r = await axios.get("https://www.beonex.com");
console.log("page", r.text());

Expected behavior

• No proxy is used

Actual result

• The proxy is used

Additional context/Screenshots

What works

If you set export no_proxy="*", then axios avoids the proxy and it works.

This is not a problem with axios, this is a problem with node.

Axios relies on node's build in globalAgent for http and https. https_proxy, http_proxy, and no_proxy are all handled by node, not axios.

If you want this to be resolved, you can make an issue at node.
