search does not use proxy on pip 1.3.1

[alb-i986]

Hi all

it seems the issue 207 is still an issue.

While 'pip install' regularly uses the proxy I set (via env var), 'pip search' does not.

Here are the evidences:

strace pip search django
[...]
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("199.27.76.129")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

Here it stops for a bunch of seconds trying to reach 199.27.76.129 and then timeouts.

See #1104 and #1180 for a solution.

Any blockers in regards to merging this?

Observed in pip 1.3.1 on CentOS 6.4 with EPEL's packages.

Works:

pip install $package

Doesn't work:

pip search $package

This bug also work for pip2 search v. 1.4.1
