And GIO has a libproxy and gnome plugin. I usually suggest using libproxy for distro that can run both KDE and Gnome on the same install, the Gnome plugin ignores the environment. Currently the support for HTTP Connect is very restricted because the GIO developers did not agree it was a correct way of doing generic socket proxying. Here is how you can make it work. First thing to know is that wocky will do HTTP Connect only when you are running in Old SSL mode. Which mean the first thing you do is an TLS handshake (so it cannot be differentiated from a HTTPS connection). Then you need a correct configuration, which you have. If you are using a google account configured with older version of Empathy, I suggest to remove it and re-create it. This will add the fallback-servers parameter to your account. Note that HTTP Connect is never the first, so connection may take a little while depending on how fat the other attempts fails. You can check the params using mc-tool show ... Here's what you should see: (GStrv) fallback-servers = ["talkx.l.google.com", "talkx.l.google.com:443,oldssl", "talkx.l.google.com:80"] Unless someone broke the fallbacks, wocky will try the server talk.google.com (use to do SRV, but was changed recently). In case of failure, it will fallback to talkx.l.google.com using normal TLS, if it fails again, it will try talkx.l.google.com:443 using OLD SSL mode, and if that still fails it will try cleartext on port 80 (I think this one always fails these days, not sure). In the future, libproxy should try HTTP Connect for any type of connection, and have a direct fallback, but that couldn't be done without changing libproxy internals a lot. Also, the HTTP Connect GLIB plugin should be provided by libsoup. Feel free to contribute if you have time. Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libproxy/+bug/893031/comments/22 On
