Liferea doesn't use GNOME's proxy settings

[Nicolas da Luz Duque]

Liferea claims to use GNOME's proxy preferences but apparently doesn't. I use a proxy at the university to access the web, and GNOME's configured to handle it.

I'm currently working on a project for a course, and we must generate RSS. I'm therefore using liferea to test it. The RSS is accessible on localhost, and GNOME's configured not to go through the proxy to access localhost (we also generate a website which is accessible with epiphany without changing anything). However, liferea fails to overlook the proxy, and tries to access localhost through the proxy.

I was compelled to change that myself in the liferea settings.

I think liferea simply retrieves GNOME's settings, but doesn't handle the exceptions defined in GNOME.

Thanks for your bug report. This particular bug has been filed
with the developers of the software. You can track this and make comments here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1614840&group_id=87005&atid=581684

Hello

Liferea can use Gnome's settings, but it doesn't recognizes the exceptions. However, you can set per-feed-exceptions in Liferea, so this shouldn't be an issue. Therefore, I'm closing this report.

By the way, Liferea 1.4 will have better Proxy settings in the preferences, as you can see in the SF report.

Best regards
Emilio

Emilio, why did you close this one? When 1.4 is released with that changes you could do that...
Setting it as wishlist is enough a think

Jonh:

The per-feed-exception is already implemented ;) so that's why I've closed this report. However, feel free to reopen it if you think I'm wrong.
What will be new in 1.4.x is the "better-preferences", but they don't affect this bug.
