`getaddrinfo failed` behind the proxy on Win10

Hey, I can’t download gist with settings. Tried with http/s_proxy settings with no result. Can you please share more info about proxy configuration?

• is it python proxy conf
• can I use http://user:[e-mail]:8080 for http/s_proxy

Windoze… Got it!

env | grep proxy returned no results but http_proxy and https_proxy was defined in windows env vars (lolz).

Removed both env vars, added again http_proxy, https_proxy and voila! Works! 🎉
