Using vlc without a global proxy

in Ubuntu, when I use vlc to play streams, it will always use global proxy setting. And in the vlc, this is nowhere to set this option.

solution: use vlc command directly. example: vlc http://my.video.com/some/random/stream.avi

And you can specify the proxy with the following  commands:
vlc http://my.video.com/some/random/stream.avi --http-proxy=my.proxy.com:8080
