** Description changed:
[IMPACT]
An privacy issue.
[TEST CASE]
- See below.
+ 1. Install wireshark
+ 2. Set "Include online search results" setting to "Off"
+ 3. Logout/login again or restart computer
+ 4. Start wireshark and start capturing network data - http only
+ 5. Open the lenses, switch to video scope, observe traffic to canonical
servers (if any)
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Minimal.
---
In 12.10 we now have a privacy option in system settings which is
supposed to suppress outgoing requests to Canonical servers.
Unfortunately the scope still makes a (harmless but unwanted) request to
http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0/search?q=&sources=amazon as can be seen
in the attached screenshot.
To reproduce
Install wireshark, set privacy option "Include online search results" to
"Off".
Logout/login to get a clean session
Start wireshark, start capture and filter to show only http traffic.
Open the lenses
Observe traffic to canonical servers.
