 Because Docker is developed using Go, you can also use any environment
 variables used by the Go runtime. In particular, you may find these useful:
 
-* `HTTP_PROXY`
-* `HTTPS_PROXY`
-* `NO_PROXY`
-
-These Go environment variables are case-insensitive. See the
-[Go specification](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/) for details on these
-variables.
