Thanks, this is way more readable than the previous iteration.

This simplified parsing misses a lot of corner cases. Three I can see
right off the bat:

  1. If your NO_PROXY is "no-proxy.com", and your host is
     "proxy.com", your code will consider that a match, but curl does
     not.

  2. If your NO_PROXY contains "no-proxy.com", but your host is
     "www.no-proxy.com", curl will consider that a match, but your code
     does not.

  3. If your NO_PROXY contains "no-proxy.com", but your host is
     "no-proxy.com:80", curl will consider that a match, but your code
     does not.

I don't see any way around it besides implementing curl's full
tokenizing and matching algorithm, which is about a page of code. I'd
really prefer not to re-implement bits of curl (especially because they
may change later), but AFAIK there is no way to ask curl "is there a
proxy configured, and if so, what is it?".

The rest of this patch looks OK to me, though.
