Loopback HTTP was still subject to the process environment's proxy
settings (http_proxy / all_proxy). That routed the local daemon's
basic-auth credentials and wallet data - and the miner's 127.0.0.1
stats API - through whatever proxy the user's shell happened to
export, and could break the connection outright.
- Local daemon RPC now sets curl's no-proxy to "*" when the host is
loopback, so it always connects directly. This also overrides a
no_proxy list. Remote daemons keep full proxy support unchanged.
- The xmrig stats fetch against the local miner API does the same.
