Package: debsecan
Version: 0.4.17
Severity: minor
The manpage says that the http_proxy environment variable "instructs
debsecan to use a proxy server to fetch the vulnerability data." But by
default, debsecan fetches the vulnerability data via HTTPS, so
http_proxy has no effect:
$ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:9/ debsecan | wc -l
779
$ https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:9/ debsecan | wc -l
error: while downloading
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/debsecan/release/1/sid:
error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
0
I suppose https_proxy should be documented instead (or in addition to
http_proxy).
