Title: loading images doesn't use proxy credentials Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool: Fix Released Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “evolution” source package in Maverick: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution SRU JUSTIFICATION: Small patch to use along with patch in bug 664167 to use proxy credentials to load images. This is a big issue for corporate users wishing to have access to rich email content (embedded images) from behind a secured proxy (as it is the case in many large enterprises). There is minimal impact since this only affects users behind a proxy, and only if they use a secured proxy (requiring authentication). TEST CASES: - Requires a proxy with authentication turned on. This can be easily achieved using squid using the pam_auth provider, for example. 1) Configure the proxy settings in Gnome (System->Preferences->Network Proxy) or Evolution (Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences), including authentication username and password. 2) Load a message which contains embedded images from the Internet in a URL document (see attached example: lp_664169_test_case.mbox -- this test case can be loaded in Evolution by double-clicking it) 3) Force loading the images from the Internet by pressing Ctrl-I. For a successful test cases, you will see embedded images being loaded from the Internet and displayed in the message. For a failed test cases, the images will not load. --- We need the patch from upstream bug 631526 to land so that proxy credentials are used properly when loading images.
