主题: dialects golang networking proxy

适用于: curl >= 7.86.0 (CIDR in NO_PROXY) · Python requests · Go net/http + golang.org/x/net/http/httpproxy · Java (http.nonProxyHosts system property) · Node.js undici / global fetch (built-in env proxy from v24.5.0 / v22.21.0) · GNU Wget

症状: curl ignores HTTP_PROXY set by a CI runner · Go program proxies a request to a host curl and requests treated as excluded · requests bypasses the proxy for notexample.com because NO_PROXY contains example.com · Java client with -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts still routes through the proxy · Node fetch() bypasses the proxy even though HTTPS_PROXY is exported · wget uses a proxy that curl in the same shell does not

HTTP_PROXY's uppercase form is deliberately rejected by curl for CGI-injection reasons but accepted by Python requests outside CGI, a NO_PROXY leading dot narrows the match to subdomains in Go's httpproxy while curl ignores the dot and also matches the bare domain, and Node's fetch ignores proxy variables unless NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY or a ProxyAgent is set up.

What it is

Tool HTTP_PROXY case rule NO_PROXY leading dot CIDR in NO_PROXY?
curl only lowercase http_proxy is read, "because of the CGI protocol"; HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY and NO_PROXY work in either case a leading . "matches that entire domain"; .example.com and example.com behave the same, bare domain included; *.example.com is not a wildcard yes, since 7.86.0
Python requests "Uppercase variants of these variables are also supported"; the standard library it relies on drops uppercase HTTP_PROXY when REQUEST_METHOD is set (CGI) plain suffix match: .example.com also matches the bare domain, and example.com also matches notexample.com yes, for IPv4 literal hosts
Go (net/http + httpproxy) reads both cases (lowercase wins when both are set); under CGI (REQUEST_METHOD set) returns an error instead of using HTTP_PROXY a bare domain "matches that name and all subdomains"; a leading dot matches subdomains only, excluding the bare name yes — "IP address prefix in CIDR notation (1.2.3.4/8)"
Java not an environment variable — http.nonProxyHosts is a JVM system property * prefix/suffix wildcards in a pipe-separated list; no dot convention no
Node.js (undici / global fetch) none read by default; NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 or --use-env-proxy (v24.5.0 / v22.21.0+) enables them, otherwise an explicit ProxyAgent "installed globally with" setGlobalDispatcher built-in support: example.com is an exact host match, .example.com and *.example.com match subdomains IP ranges written a-b, not CIDR
Wget documents only lowercase forms matches by domain-extension suffix, e.g. .mit.edu not documented

Why it matters

curl ties its lowercase-only http_proxy rule to CGI history: a request header like Proxy: becomes HTTP_PROXY in a CGI script's own environment, and "accepting the upper case version of this environment variable has been the source for many security problems." Python's requests documents accepting uppercase variants; only the standard-library lookup underneath drops HTTP_PROXY inside a CGI request. NO_PROXY looks like one convention but is not: curl strips a leading dot, so .example.com also covers the bare example.com, while Go's httpproxy package states that a bare domain matches the domain and its subdomains whereas a leading dot matches subdomains only — a NO_PROXY value moved from a curl-based tool into a Go binary can start proxying the apex domain. Node's built-in support, once enabled, treats a bare name as an exact host only.

How to apply

  • Prefer the lowercase variable names, which every tool here that reads the environment understands; add uppercase copies only where a tool needs them.
  • Re-derive NO_PROXY leading-dot entries when porting a list between curl-based and Go-based tools, rather than copying it verbatim.
  • Configure Java through JVM system properties (-Dhttp.proxyHost, -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts); the JVM's default proxy settings do not read http_proxy or no_proxy.
  • For Node.js code using the built-in fetch, set NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 on releases that support it, or construct and install a ProxyAgent explicitly.

Pitfalls

  • Assuming uppercase HTTP_PROXY is always read; curl specifically ignores it.
  • Assuming a leading dot in NO_PROXY means the same thing everywhere.
  • Assuming Node's fetch() reads HTTPS_PROXY without being told to.
  • Writing *.example.com for curl or requests, where only a lone * is special.
