I'm just starting to look at Drupal 8 and work behind a proxy, so downloaded http_proxy using drush. However, it is impossible to activate the module because it does not appear in the module list and drush thinks it has no modules.
I suspect that this is because it is missing the yml file - but then how is it possible to have a release version which has clearly never been tested?

I am facing the exactly same issue.

Same here. The error message says "http_proxy-8.x-1.0.tar.gz does not contain any .info.yml files."

Wanted to give Drupal 8 a try, and one of the first things was to tell Drupal how to get over the proxy I'm sitting behind to install modules and stuff. I'm totally new to Drupal, and I don't know any other way to configure proxy settings.

I think this module should in fact be unnecessary in Drupal 8, since the settings.php file now contains the necessary code to configure the proxy there. The problem is that it seems to be ignored by Guzzle, which Drupal 8 uses to make HTTP requests
