Steam does not seam to parse proxy-related environment variables correctly. My system settings are : all_proxy=http://myproxyhostname.fr:8080 http_proxy=http://myproxyhostname.fr:8080 https_proxy=http://myproxyhostname.fr:8080
Using Wireshark I noticed that Steam tried to resolve hostname "//myproxyhostname.fr" instead of "myproxyhostname.fr", which led DNS servers to return no result.
A possible workaround to this is to set : all_proxy=myproxyhostname.fr:8080 http_proxy=myproxyhostname.fr:8080 https_proxy=myproxyhostname.fr:8080
which works, but is a non-standard way on defining proxy environment variables on Linux.
This was touched on with issues #1912 and #1943.
The next beta client will improve this.
Today's beta client update should help here, are you still seeing problems?
