How do I make curl ignore the proxy?

Question

How do I make curl ignore the proxy? Setting $NO_PROXY doesn\'t seem to work for me.

Answer 1

You should use $no_proxy env variable (lower-case). Please consult https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/proxy_settings for examples.

Also, there was a bug at curl long time ago http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/185/ , maybe you are using an ancient curl version that includes this bug.
