Title:
Network applet should warn or generate a warning/error if user tries
to add protocol in front of the proxy value
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Reproducer ;
1. Set proxy with UI on user1
Method : Manual
HTTP Proxy : http://test.com Port : 8080
HTTPS Proxy : https://test.com Port : 9090
Click "Apply system wide"
No warning/error will be shown, but if looking at :
- /etc/environment
- /etc/apt/apt.conf
They won't be updated/created.
The reason is because the protocol is automatically added during the
saving process so that the configuration should look as follow :
(without the protocol http://, https://)
Method : Manual
HTTP Proxy : test.com Port : 8080
HTTPS Proxy : test.com Port : 9090
In order to improve the user experience, it would be great to have a
mechanism that detect if the protocol has been accidentally added to
the field, or at least a quick message in the applet window to let the
user know to not add the protocol.
