Description

When running the edgedb ui subcommand with ALL_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY set, to fetch a local web ui url, due to the default configuration of reqwest, it implicitly reads the values of ALL_PROXY and similar environment variables and uses the proxy upon making requests, resulting in a server response of 503 Service Unavailable; indeed, unsetting these environment variables allows the subcommand to function properly.

Additional information

With RUST_LOG=DEBUG set:

RUST_LOG=DEBUG edgedb ui

edgedb error: Web UI not served correctly by specified EdgeDB server. Try `edgedb instance logs -I <instance_name>` to see details.

Possible solution

When executing the web UI subcommand in a local environment, disable the implicit HTTP proxy.
