 * Hi, thanks for you time.
    I installed wordpress 4.6.1 on my mint laptop,it works
   well except the http proxy. I use a local proxy server to browse the internet,
   so i added 3 lines into the wp_config.php file.
 *     ```
       define ( 'WP_PROXY_HOST', '127.0.0.1' );
       define ( 'WP_PROXY_PORT', '8123' );
       define ( 'WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS', 'localhost, *.local' );
       ```
   
 * however when I browse to the update page of the backend, some errors happended
   as follow:
 *     ```

 * The php version is 7.0.8 with xdebug 2.4.0 installed.
    The command `wget -e "
   http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123" http://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-
   4.6.1-no-content.zip` can download the expected file normally.
 * I have spent hours for this issue, and now i’m wondering if this is just a bug
   of wordpress.
    [Here](http://pastebin.com/vG1PvBiU) is my whole wp-config.php
   file.
