Lite Upgrade (3.4 to 3.6) via a proxy server doesn't work

Ralphy  <==  Blame this guy!

The --no-proxy statement should be removed, but a timeout should be there anyways (maybe a little higher) since that prevents anomalies like hanging reads and infinite connects. High latency shouldn't necessary be a problem with the current 2 attempts. We went as far as testing with dnscrypt-proxy and no cache to ensure that we could get the timeout as low as possible without failures. If there are DNS queries taking over 1000ms in a network, maybe that's what should be addressed in the first place.


It was left there unintentionally (like I said, blame that guy)... I was testing the new widget updates and didn't want to get a cached version from the local proxy; that's how it got there . It will undoubtedly cause issues if a web proxy is required to access the outside world in your network. Besides, the proxy settings should be respected regardless.
