Comment #5 on issue 16709 by minatoar: Obey proxy auth parameters from gconf or env vars http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16709
> Any thoughts on how hard this would be to fix? The main part would be plumbing the username/password down through proxy layer and into HTTP layer. Probably easy to do this by treating this similarly to an http://[email protected] URL. However, special attention needs to be paid to the case when the environment variable contains invalid identity. In this case we don't want to get stuck in the loop where for each request we end up prompting an auth dialog (because we first apply the proxy settings identity which clears authcache with a bad identity). I am not convinced we actually want to implement this though, do we have any evidence that people rely on this feature? (Mac and Windows for example have no equivalent to this in their proxy settings). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
