Description

I noticed a potential issue in the Conda documentation regarding the proxy server configuration.

Current example:

proxy_servers:
    http: http://user:pass@corp.com:8080
    https: https://user:pass@corp.com:8080

However, the 'https' key should also be specified using the HTTP protocol ('http://'), not HTTPS:

proxy_servers:
    http: http://user:pass@corp.com:8080
    https: http://user:pass@corp.com:8080

The http and https keys indicate the type of traffic to route, not the protocol of the proxy server itself. As written, this could mislead users into thinking that the proxy server should use the HTTPS protocol for https traffic.

I suggest updating the documentation to prevent confusion.

Thank you for considering this issue.
