Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdenetwork
One should expect system-wide proxy settings to be used by most applications, I guess. I find this not to be the case: actually I haven't found ANY that uses the settings. So this must be a bug. Here is how to reproduce it for Kubuntu 10.04: Set a (working) proxy in Network Settings->Proxy->Manually specify->Apply Reboot The proxy settings are there: $ cat .kde/share/config/kioslaverc PersistentProxyConnection=false [$Version] update_info=kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r1,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r2,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r3 [Proxy Settings] AuthMode=0 NoProxyFor= Proxy Config Script= ProxyType=1 ReversedException=false ftpProxy=//:8080 httpProxy=http://172.16.1.5:80 httpsProxy=//:8080 $ date && wget www.yahoo.com && date Fri May 7 13:22:29 MYT 2010 --2010-05-07 13:22:29-- http://www.yahoo.com/ Resolving www.yahoo.com... 72.30.2.43, 98.137.149.56 Connecting to www.yahoo.com|72.30.2.43|:80... connected.
