I use the privoxy proxy on Ubuntu 12.04. For testing, Ubuntu is proxy
settings are globally configured for https on 127.0.0.1 port
8118 only. The http_proxy env variable reflects this correctly. privoxy is
started and running. I confirmed that I go through the proxy with a
browser pointed to a https website.

emacs -Q

Evaluate the following in scratch:
(require 'url)
(pop-to-buffer (url-retrieve-syhronously 
"https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el"))

Minibuffer says "Contacting host: 127.0.0.1:8118". After about a minute
or so a buffer named *http 127.0.0.1:8118*-10921 [no process] pops up
that contains the following:

HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
Proxy-Agent: Privoxy/3.0.19

Then nothing happens. I was expecting see to the content of the page.
If I use url-retrieve with a http url it works and displays the content
retrieved from the url in the buffer.

Is `url-using-proxy' set to anything?

And is this still not working in Emacs 25?

This is the same as bug#11788.
