I can confirm both the bug and the apparent correctness of the patch. I just applied the patch to my /usr/share/pyshared/gwibber/microblog/network.py (current Maverick) and now my Gwibber finally updates through the SOCKS proxy again.

I did a little investigation and found that I was getting the following output when running gwibber-service: ----------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/microblog/network.py", line 57, in __init__ self.curl.perform() error: (56, 'Proxy CONNECT aborted') ----------------------------------- and this was in the log file: ----------------------------------- 2010-10-11 11:39:43,497 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - Failed to communicate with https://api.twitter.com/1<personal stuff> 2010-10-11 11:39:43,499 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - Failed to parse the response, error was: No JSON object could be decoded ----------------------------------- I often use a SOCKS proxy via "ssh -D ..." and it appears that gwibber-service was failing to connect when I would use the proxy since it worked fine when I turned it off. It appears that [py]curl is not correctly setting the correct proxy options with the proxy url that is being used, in my case "socks://localhost:50001". On the plus side, this is an easy fix. I simply set the PROXYTYPE opt to PROXYTYPE_SOCKS4 (it also works with PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5) and everything works perfectly, with my proxy. I've attached a small patch that addresses this issue. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
