Nuget not taking proxy authentication other than from global nuget config file

[hvinett]

Details about Problem

NuGet product used : Nuget.exe

NuGet version : 5.3.0.6260

OS version : version 1903 (OS Build 18362.418)

Worked before?: Never

Detailed repro steps so we can see the same problem

1. With following commands we are able to add proxy authentication details to nuget config file

nuget.exe config -set http_proxy=http://my.proxy.address:port
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.user=mydomain\myUserName
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.password=mySuperSecretPassword

2. If this proxy config is added to global config file, nuget.exe reads this and is able to use the config specified by me.

3. However if the very same commands are run for a nuget config file that is not the global config file (look at snippet below) and then i try to install a package using this new config file, nuget.exe does not read the config details from this. If i just copy paste the contents of this file to the global nuget config file then things work fine.

nuget.exe config -set http_proxy=http://my.proxy.address:port -ConfigFile notGlobalConfig.config
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.user=mydomain\myUserName -ConfigFile notGlobalConfig.config
nuget.exe config -set http_proxy.password=mySuperSecretPassword -ConfigFile notGlobalConfig.config

I believe there might be a bug in the nuget.exe code which is causing it to not read proxy details from the provided config file if it is not the global one.
