bug#34103: 26.1; url-retrieve-synchronously freezes in an infinite loop when behind a proxy because of `url-asynchronous' being bound to nil

[Parham Doustdar]

Hi,

The value is `(("http" . "xxx.com:3128") ("https" . "xxx.com:3128"))'.

Am I setting this wrong?

Thanks!

What's the value of your `url-proxy-services' variable?  Proxies should
be working even when using synchronous HTTP connections...
