Ah, from ./libCERTI/SocketHTTPProxy.cc:

"To disable HTTP tunneling, you must unset both environment variables,
or set CERTI_HTTP_PROXY to an empty string."

Here we go:

quickstep: ~> echo $http_proxy
http://proxy.<domainname>:3128/
quickstep: ~> setenv CERTI_HTTP_PROXY ""
quickstep: ~> billard -fTest -FTest.fed -n 1
CERTI Billard 3.3.3cvs
with TIMESTAMP. If you want without TIMESTAMP add -e option.
RTIA:: RTIA has thrown NetworkError exception.
RTIA:: Reason: gethostbyname gave NULL answer for hostname <> with error 
<Unknown error: 0>
RTIA:: End execution.


As far as I understand, line 111/112 in ./libCERTI/SocketHTTPProxy.cc
don't properly tell the difference between "variable unset" and
"varable set, but empty", because getenv("CERTI_HTTP_PROXY") returns
NULL even for an empty variable (note: just guessing). Am I wrong here ?

Cheers,
        Martin.
