HTTP proxy server settings ignore "Port" box

[John Harrison]

I'm using http://midori-browser.org/downloads/midori_0.5.7_32_.exe on Windows 7 64bit (Couldn't find a 64bit build)

On the Network tab under Preferences, I chose "HTTP proxy server" for "Proxy server"
In the URI box I put http://myproxyserver/
In the Port box I put 14253

It didn't work.

When I tried changing the URI box to http://myxproxyserver:14253/ it worked fine.

Perhaps we could scrap the "Port" box and just have a label underneath the URI box showing how to specify the URI with the port?

Hi, could You check if works as You described with Midori 0.5.8?

This hasn't changed since 0.5.7 so it is probably still the case regardless. The current logic looks like this (midori-session.c:71):

...
else if (proxy_type == MIDORI_PROXY_HTTP)
{
    soup_session_remove_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
    gchar* proxy = katze_object_get_string (settings, "http-proxy");
    GString* http_proxy = g_string_new (proxy);
    g_string_append_printf (http_proxy, ":%d", katze_object_get_int (settings, "http-proxy-port"));
    midori_soup_session_set_proxy_uri (session, http_proxy->str);
    g_string_free (http_proxy, TRUE);
    g_free (proxy);
}
else
...

This code just adds ":port" at the end of the URI, which isn't really the right thing to do. We should look into what our dependency libraries expect and try to improve the UI to reflect the semantics of what the settings actually do.

This bug affect me too, Midori v0.5.11 (Cinnamon). And there's a strange grey rectangle in middle of the window.?field.comment=This bug affect me too, Midori v0.5.11 (Cinnamon). And there's a strange grey rectangle in middle of the window (picture attached).
