[issue11398] http_proxy on windows won't function due to incorrect case handling

[chris nojima]

New submission from chris nojima :

There is an issue where on windows os.environ keys are all uppercase. If i run 
set a="hello", in python it will appear as a key "A". 
urllib.request.getproxies_environment looks for all _proxy environment vars by 
looking for "_proxy". Since windows uppercases, it's impossible to set this var 
(it will be HTTP_PROXY and won't match, etc).
This is stopping me from running some install scripts

Sorry. You are correct, this must have been fixed in 3.1.2. The box I was on 
had 3.1.1 on it and some other configuration issues led me to believe this was 
happening in 3.2 as well.
