Twitter: Unable to load profile pictures when running behind proxy

[2GooD]

I'm not sure if this is the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/259830 because I am able to view my Twitter messages, but I don't see any pictures. The http_proxy environment variable is set, and the Network Proxy is configured in GNOME.

Running "strace -e trace=network gwibber" shows that gwibber tries multiple connections to port 80 somewhere without using the proxy:

connect(24, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("216.137.59.107")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

Gwibber package 2.0.0~bzr476-0ubuntu3 in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

The proxy server does not require authentication.

This also happens to me with Gwibber 2.31.1 on Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm having the same problem with Twitter and Identi.ca
