64bit linux standalone ignores proxy settings during update and update fails

Zotero standalone (v 3.03 and v3.07) connect to the internet just fine through a http proxy gateway on my LAN. It retreives metadata for pdfs without a problem.

However, when I check for updates, it fails with the following message:

Update server not found (check your internet connection)

tracing the network calls by

strace -f -e trace=network ./zotero &>log


shows that for metadata retreivals, it correctly connects to the proxy server (set in both the gnome and bash env) but for the update, it ignores the proxy and tries to directly connect to the net.

A fix will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
