http_proxy variable is set and saved

DESCRIPTION:

In the Bitbake variables page or configuration page I am able to add a variable with the name of http_proxy even though it is a standard shell environment variable.

BUILD: 2.2 M3: 2679a347c576f5411fbe802d2f6201c94036ecb2
ENVIRONMENT: Debian 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1.  Access a project page, either by creating a new project or accessing an existing project from the "All builds" table.

2. In the main project page, click on "BitBake variables" in the left-hand side of the page, under the "CONFIGURATION" menu.

3. Add the variable "http_proxy" and set a value then save

EXPECTED OUTCOME: A message that says: "You cannot edit this variable in Toaster because it is set by the build servers"
