Note that some test suites do legitimate http/https access during their tests. By "legitimate" I mean, they set up their own localhost special-port service and vend files out of them. You could call these integration tests, but still, test suites do this and setting the proxies to the discard port will break them. I agree that *external* access must be blocked, but cases such as the above must also be allowed. Unfortunately I don't know of a better way then unsetting the proxy envars for the test suite. -Barry
