weather applet won't do proxy authentication

[Gavin McCullagh]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Hi,

I have a proxy server configured in GNOME with a wpad.dat script for my network. I have the gnome application on my desktop. I don't get any data.

When I tell the applet to reload, i see this in our Squid logs.

1250239255.714 0 172.16.1.3 TCP_DENIED/407 1906 GET http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl? - NONE/- text/html

We require proxy authentication on this network but gnome or the applet don't seem to know how to deal with that. If I add an exclusion for this site in squid I can get the weather data through, but this is not really something I want to do and no doubt many other gnome users are not in a position to modify their network proxy.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

What ubuntu version do you use?

[Gavin McCullagh (gmccullagh)]

Currently Jaunty Jackalope. I can upgrade a spare laptop to Karmic and test if that's likely to have a fix?

not sure but to send upstream by somebody having the issue
