0001789: aMule is not using proxy configured in preferences to download nodes.dat and servers.met
aMule always tries to download nodes.dat and servers.met directly, ignoring both aMule HTTP or Socks5 proxy preferences and system proxy settings. Also environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy, socks_proxy are ignored.
 Both files have to be downloaded (and updated too) manually and placed in ~/.amule directory if host is behind firewall with proxy.
1. Set HTTP or Socks5 proxy enable flag and proxy type, host and port settings at aMule preferences (optional - at system config, and optional - environment variables at ~/.bashrc, need to import .bashrc to bash if in console).
2. Start tcpdump at terminal session on data interface
3. Start aMule (from graphic interface or optional - from terminal session)
4. Press update button on server.met (ED2k tab) or nodes.dat (KAD tab)
5. Seeing direct HTTP request attempt to upd.emule-security.org in tcpdump output and error messages in aMule log like below while aMule KAD and ED2K protocols are using proxy settings without any problems for search and downloads:

tcpdump:

aMule log:
