A correct proxy setting should bypass localhost, and webkit can handle this correctly, so layout tests won't fail. The problem only occurs during python urllib.urlopen().

Environment variables is not the only way to set proxy. Only unsetting environment variables seems not working for me. And I think disabling proxy before testing might be annoying for people who rely on proxies all the time.
