Nah, I agree with you. I was only thinking about adding a warning about incorrect http_proxy configuration (so a user is not surprised that we try to connect without proxy), but I've decided against it. Lets keep how-can-i-help simple and doing only what it is supposed to do. Only one things bugs me - I do think that some applications (yes, wget I'm looking at you) do work, even if they are given http_proxy without URI scheme. I'll check that tomorrow.
