If I only set the http_proxy then https and ftp won't work! ftp and https must pass through the http proxy
I should be able to manually specify the protocol or the URL for the proxy and the GUI should assume it is ftp or https by default. If I try to use the GUI to set the network proxy I end up with a broken configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098143 Title: Network proxy settings do not respect proxy protocol Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu19 Ubuntu Version: 12.10 When configuring a proxy server there is no option to set the correct protocol to use. I have an HTTP only proxy but if i use http://IPAddress for all values of the proxy (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP,SOCKS) the resulting systems vars are: ftp_proxy="ftp://IPAddress:3128/" http_proxy="http://IPAddress:3128/" https_proxy="https://IPAddress:3128/" socks_proxy="socks://IPAddress:3128/" which makes ftp browsing to stop working since my proxy only accepts HTTP protocol.... the expect values are: ftp_proxy="http://IPAddress:3128/" http_proxy="http://IPAddress:3128/" https_proxy="http://IPAddress:3128/" socks_proxy="http://IPAddress:3128/" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1098143/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
