Comment 10 for bug 45722

Have to add a 'me too'. Flash plugin downloader doesn't respect ANY proxy setting, so the installer for the plugin just hangs and eventually times out. I have http_proxy set in /etc/profile so every thing picks it up. wget works on the command line.

 If the flashplugin-nonfree is using wget it must be scrubbing the environment first so that it loses the http_proxy env variable as on the command line I can use wget and have it operate via our proxy fine.
