Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux/macOS examples for configuring proxy settings, but Windows instructions (including PowerShell and CMD) are listed first and in greater detail. The section on bypassing proxies only gives explicit commands for Windows (CMD and PowerShell), while Linux/macOS users are simply told to leave the variable unset. There are also several environment variable descriptions that reference Windows-specific behaviors or defaults (e.g., AzCopy caching proxy lookups on Windows, logging to Windows Event Logger).
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS and Windows examples in parallel or alternate which is shown first to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS commands for bypassing proxies, not just 'leave unset', e.g., 'unset HTTPS_PROXY' or 'export HTTPS_PROXY=''.
- Clarify platform-specific behaviors for environment variables, especially where defaults differ (e.g., proxy detection, logging), and ensure Linux/macOS equivalents are described.
- Where Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, CMD) are mentioned, ensure Bash/zsh equivalents are included and equally detailed.
