Network Proxy: ignores proxy user/pass provided

[Brian Brazil]

Steps to reproduce (requries authenticated proxy):

1. Open Network Proxy
2. Select "Manual Proxy configuration"
3. Enter HTTP proxy host and port
4. Click "Details"
5. Check "Use Authentication"
6. Enter user/pass
7. Click Close
8. Click Close
9. Open a new terminal
10. "echo $http_proxy"

Note that it only contains http://host:port/, not the user and password. This affects anything spawned within gnome.

I'm on Dapper, suggested workaround is to use options within your apps for authenticated proxies.

Suggested fix is to use the "http://user:pass@host:port" (works with wget and w3m, not synaptic).

This bug is still open for 10.10. Why are the authenification credentials not exported in http_proxy?

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

The upstream fixed version has landed in Ubuntu.
