[ClearWeather] ClearWeather -Issue Network Proxy ERROR

[John]

When using ubuntu 10.04 ClearWeather screenlets stops working once i have network proxy enabled.

( i use a ssh proxy tunnel when i am logged in at the coffee shop)

I am using the default network proxy built into 10.04 ubunutu gnome as a socks host @ 127.0.0.1

by first doing a ssh connect .... ssh -D 5432 user@some+IP_num

I use an SSH tunnel via System--> preferences--> Network Proxy Settings --> manual proxy configuration - enabled -

I am then unable to get updates from clear weather screenlets (could not reach weather.com . Check your INTERNET connection and location and try again. -- I am able to surf the web, chat on pidgin via all IM clients but unable to get ClearWeather .

in the home folder ~/.config/Screenlets$ there is a log for clear weather with errors = ClearWeatherScreenlet.log

The http via proxy was never built-in the screenlets so this is expected.
