No proxy support

[fangorious]

xchat-gnome 0.9-0ubuntu5 as packaged for dapper does not seem to use the Gnome proxy settings, nor does it have it's own interface to specify a proxy.

Thanks for you bug report.
I forwared it in upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331607

actually the funny thing is it does have proxy support.

just add it in the config file manually, or add it to the server with normal xchat and xchat-gnome will be able to use it.

i think it just needs the ui frontend for the config edit support.

holycow, where do you set the config for the proxy?

[Albin Tonnerre (lutin)]

You can have a look at http://proxy.getwave.net/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL3hjaGF0LXdpbjMyLmJlcmxpb3MuZGUvc2V0dmFycy5odG1s,
net_auth_* to know how to set proxy in xchat-gnome (those are xchat variables which are handled by xchat-gnome)

XChat-GNOME stores most of the settings as variables. To edit the variables in order to configure various settings use the /set command. Here is the list of variables that are related to the proxy configuration:

net_proxy_auth - Toggle proxy authentication.
net_proxy_host - Proxy host to use.
net_proxy_pass - Password to use if proxy authentication is turned on.
net_proxy_port - Port to use for proxy host.
net_proxy_type - Type of proxy to use (0=disabled, 1=Wingate, 2=Socks4,
3=Socks5, 4=HTTP, 5=MS Proxy (ISA).
net_proxy_use - What to use proxies for (if set). (0=all, 1=IRC Only, 2=DCC Only).
net_proxy_user - Username to use if proxy authentication is turned on.

These variables are also stored in ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf
