Eric Hare 596e98b9b7 fix: Respect proxy environment variables in URL Component (#12989)
* fix: URLComponent ignores proxy in async mode (#12285)

The URLComponent fails to connect for users behind corporate proxies
because its asynchronous mode does not recognize standard system proxy
environment variables. The component defaults to use_async=True, which
initializes the RecursiveUrlLoader; the underlying async loader does
not natively respect system proxy environment variables, so the
component attempts a direct connection and fails in restricted network
environments.

Detect standard proxy environment variables (http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY,
https_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY) in URLComponent._create_loader. If a proxy
is detected and use_async is enabled, override use_async to False so
the loader uses its synchronous implementation, which natively
respects system proxies. Empty and whitespace-only values are
correctly evaluated as no-proxy and do not trigger the fallback.

Closes #10297

* fix(URLComponent): broaden proxy detection and harden tests

Address review findings on the proxy fix:

- Add ALL_PROXY and all_proxy to the detected env vars. ALL_PROXY is
  commonly set in corporate and container environments (curl, git,
  many Unix tools honour it), and is sometimes the only proxy var
  configured.
- Replace the unused proxy_url string with a single boolean any() over
  the env var keys, since only the presence of a proxy is consulted.
- Reorganize the proxy tests under TestURLComponentProxyHandling with
  a shared default-attributes helper, parametrize over all six env var
  spellings, and add coverage for multiple-simultaneous-proxies and
  the use_async=False path (which should not log a warning).

* fix: remove no_proxy="*" macOS startup hack so corporate proxies work

Two startup paths set `os.environ["no_proxy"] = "*"` on macOS, which
disables proxy use for every HTTP client in the process and every child
gunicorn worker (httpx, requests, urllib3 — and therefore the OpenAI,
Anthropic, Groq, etc. SDKs that wrap them). For users behind corporate
proxies on macOS this made every external LLM call unroutable, even with
HTTPS_PROXY properly set.

The override traces to commit history with no concrete justification —
the only artifact is a Stack Overflow link about a uWSGI segfault, but
Langflow uses gunicorn, not uWSGI. Bench-verified that gunicorn boots
cleanly and serves requests on macOS without it (1 worker via
LangflowApplication, OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES retained,
HTTPS_PROXY survives intact in parent and child).

Verification:
  - gunicorn worker spawns and serves /health (200 OK), exits cleanly
  - httpx, urllib, requests all resolve HTTPS_PROXY after the macOS init
    (previously: all three returned empty proxy maps because of no_proxy=*)
  - OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES still set — the actual
    fork-safety fix is preserved

Closes the macOS half of #10297. Companion fix for the async URLComponent
half is in #12285 / branch pr-12285-rebased.
