Well, it still doesn't work in karmic, despite all the discussion of whose problem it is. Flashplugin-nonfree still does this:

Then why can't flashplugin-nonfree solve this mess by simply passing a "-p" flag to wget? Then, when (and if) the wget people get off their collective a***es (Hah, British!) it will continue to work, and the '-p' flag could eventually be removed. Not my problem... it's their problem... sheesh! There is a well-known idea in designing network protocols: anything you produce should adhere strictly to the standard, but you should accept small unambiguous deviations from the standard. The same should apply to packages. They should do the right thing, but not necessarily depend on other packages being perfect. -- wget does not use network proxy in some cases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
