Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell commands are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents in proxy configuration sections; Windows-specific behaviors (such as automatic proxy detection) are described in detail, while Linux/macOS are treated generically; instructions for bypassing proxies are provided only for Windows (CMD and PowerShell), with Linux/macOS users told simply to unset the variable, lacking explicit command examples. There is also a focus on Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as references to the Windows Event Logger and PowerShell environment variable syntax.
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows examples, and alternate the order so that Windows is not always first.
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS commands for bypassing proxies, similar to the Windows examples (e.g., export HTTPS_PROXY=dummy.invalid; export NO_PROXY=*).
- When describing platform-specific behaviors (such as proxy auto-detection), include details for Linux/macOS where applicable, or explicitly state differences.
- Mention Linux/macOS equivalents to Windows tools (e.g., syslog vs. Windows Event Logger) in all relevant sections.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default platform; use neutral language and structure examples to treat all platforms equally.
