lynx-dev handling empty value for proxy URLs

[Vlad Harchev]

 Current lynx behaves very strange if proxy URL is an empty string (e.g.
        http_proxy= lynx yahoo.com
 Lynx will try to use yahoo as proxy. Does anybody consider this as a desired
behaviour? Should it be fixed (by treating empty proxy URL as request not to
use proxy)? I think treating empty proxy URL as request not to use proxy is
the best behaviour - since bash's commandline like
        http_proxy= lynx yahoo.com 
will allow easily to run lynx without proxy even if http_proxy is defined in
the shell's environment.

 Best regards,
