Bug#687834: Some progress with uscan and https_proxy

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

I've managed to get uscan working with https behind a corporate firewall.

First, LWP::UserAgent needs to be patched [1]. And uscan must be modified to 
require 'Net::SSL' instead of 'Crypt::SSLeay'.

Then uscan works as expected using the proxy specified in https_proxy env 
variable. Note that some site will redirect https requests to http request so 
http_proxy (without the 's') must also be specified.

All the best
