Title:
Evolution will not use GNOME proxy settings of http_proxy environment
variable to access Exchange via WebDAV
Status in Evolution Exchange - Exchange Plugin for Exchange:
Won't Fix
Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “evolution-exchange” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution-exchange
Subject line says it all. As far as I know, Evolution does use the Gnome
proxy settings for images inside emails, but does not for proxies, and when I
tried
using the syntax http://proxy.server:port/my.exchange.site/exchange it did
not work either. I know that the proxy is working because if I set it in the
Gnome proxy settings and then use Places/Connect to Server and use the WebDEV
protocl I can connect just fine and browse through my email directories. At
first
I thought of this as a new feature, but really it is a bug because Evolution,
as any GNOME application, should be following GNOME settings for everything,
not just selectively choosing what HTTP requests it uses the proxy for.
I feel like this would be a one or two line fix in the code, and I
would love to use the version of evoloution that supports HTTP
proxying properly :)
Thanks
Misha
