OpenShot won't start if the proxy environment variable is malformed

[harmin-parra]

My Linux system has the following environment variables set:

http_proxy=localhost:3128
https_proxy=localhost:3128

OpenShot won't start

urllib3.exceptions.ProxySchemeUnknown: Not supported proxy scheme localhost

Tested with

• OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.AppImage
• OpenShot-v2.6.1-dev-daily-8906-3c8dc71b-2b8b05c7-x86_64.AppImage

Works fine if the proxy variables have the http:// prefix

http_proxy=http://localhost:3128
https_proxy=http://localhost:3128

Nope, this should be an issue thrown to urllib3 project. Specifying the protocol is a necessary step to following the standards, but it should also be often to set a localhost proxy in http other than https.
