Category: wrong Group: 2.0.0 beta 5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Joel (jlbec) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: regression: Proxy settings are forgotten Initial Comment: I've been using gaim for years. Recently, Debian switched to the 2.0 beta series. This exposed a regression that makes me want to scream! I work on a laptop. When I go home, I change the proxy settings to "No Proxy". When I get to the office, I change the proxy settings to "HTTP". In the 1.0 series, GAIM saved the proxy settings always. Switching to "No Proxy" just meant it wouldn't use the proxy. Switching back to "HTTP", GAIM would load up the remembered proxy and away I'd go. With 2.0, switching to "No Proxy" erases my proxy details. When I get back to the office, I have to re-enter the proxy server. EVERY SINGLE DAY! This is just an unacceptible regression. I mean, GAIM's been doing this right for years. The solution is to revert to the original behavior. Just because I choose "No Proxy" doesn't mean erase the proxy server and port info. Just toggler "http_proxy=false". Otherwise, I have a few workarounds. 1) Leave the proxy settings alone and only use Gaim in one location. 2) Re-enter the proxy information EVERY DAY when I get to the office. 3) Find a new AIM client that allows me to use AIM both at home and at the office without having to type in my proxy server every day. Sad to say, I'll be choosing option (3). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1653566&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
