Hi
My laptop runs Arch and I use it at a hostel and University. Both have different proxy settings and I had configured it by using a script (if one can call it that) in {/etc/profile.d/} that exported the correct settings. I had to edit (comment/uncomment) my setting every time I mover my laptop.
I need the setting globally for Chromium to pick it up. Chromium until recently had a problem when accessing the Gnome 3 network (proxy) settings. A new update seem to have fixed this but the problem of picking up the setting remains.
I started up a terminal to see how that global proxy setting in Gnome 3 were shown and found that only the following were set
https_proxy
all_proxy
ftp_proxy
The main one that I need {http_proxy} was not set, even thought I defined it. I think this is an issue with Gnome 3 and was not sure where I should report it. Any solutions will be much appreciated.

well, set up proxy from System Settings->Network and chromium is going to pick it up(if they fixed it).
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Done that...but does not work. I do not believe it is a Chromium issue. I cant use it, for example, with wget. I remember in my older Gnome I was able to set the proxy settings and use it everywhere i.e. Chromium, wget, firefox all picked it up. Now none pick up the http_proxy, to use wget for example I have to 'export' before I do anything.

I've had issues lately with Gnome 3 and proxy settings. For example, as of today (or sometime this weekend) Firefox is not obeying the system proxy settings (System Settings -> Network -> Proxy). Even better was that today I found that the system proxy settings had "magically" reset to proxy.company.com:8080 (or whatever their default setting is). If I manually set Firefox's proxy settings, it connects just fine. All terminal applications that I use only obey the http_proxy environment variable. Other programs, such as Evolution, seem to not obey the Gnome system proxy settings but only the ones set in GConf (not DConf) (which were also "magically" reset today).

Are you exporting http_proxy in your .bashrc?

Also, be sure you set up Proxydriver:
