Proxy configuration of a machine can be easily fetched using
def check_proxy():    
     import urllib2
     http_proxy = urllib2.getproxies().get('http')
I need to write a test for the above written function. In order to do that I need to:-
- Set the system-wide proxy to an invalid URL during the test(sounds like a bad idea).
- Supply an invalid URL to http_proxy.
How can I achieve either of the above?
