            Bug ID: 5796
           Summary: --config http_proxy.host not accepting 'https' URLs
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.7.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: yadavsahil5198 at gmail.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

I wanted to use 'https://10.8.0.1:8080' as a proxy host but everytime I issue
the following command :

hg --debug --config http_proxy.host=https://10.8.0.1:8080/ --config
http_proxy.user=myUsername --config http_proxy.passwd=myPassword pull


It shows me the following log:

pulling from https://www.octave.org/hg/octave
using https://www.octave.org/hg/octave
proxying through http://10.8.0.1:8080
sending capabilities command
abort: error: Connection refused

If there could be 'https://' instead of 'http://' in 'proxying...' line my work
would be sufficed. I've even unset the environment variables, still unable to
get my work done. moreover, ~/.hgrc file doesn't contain the [http-proxy] tag
as well (so that whatever proxy I issue is going to be used from the --config
flag only)

Just for your verification that any other locations must not be interfering,
the command 'set | grep -i proxy' also doesn't display anything.
