[pve-devel] [PATCH storage 1/2] fix #3716: api: download from url: use proxy option for https

[Friedrich Weber]

The web UI uses the download-url endpoint for downloading an ISO, VZ
template, or OVA file via wget. In a setup where this request has to
go over a proxy (configured in the http_proxy datacenter option), the
download only works for http:// URLs, not https:// URLs. The reason is
that the download-url handler does not pass the https_proxy option to
the download_file_from_url helper, hence the helper only sets the
http_proxy environment variable for wget, not the https_proxy one.

Fix this by also passing the https_proxy option to the
download_file_from_url helper.

This will break setups that rely on http_proxy not being respected for
https:// URLs. For example, setups that have a proxy for external
connections, but download e.g. ISO files (only) via https from an
internal repository that the proxy doesn't serve.
