    Description

      A number of tests in the networking area invoke the no-args
      URL::openConnection. If support for system proxies is enabled, the
      default on macOS, then the built-in http(s) and ftp protocol handlers
      may attempt to make a connection to a proxy. In almost all cases, this
      is the wrong thing for the test to do. Typically, the test is
      exercising something in the protocol handler implementation, rather than
      proxy support ( there are other tests that exercise proxy support ).
      This is an accidental dependency.

      In many cases the connection to the system configured proxy may be
      benign, but not always, it depends. Such accidental dependencies should
      be remove, since they serve little purpose and could negatively affect
      test stability.
