Cannot connect to destination (api.twitter.com)

[Heikki Hellgren]

After trying to authorize either twitter or facebook with Gwibber I get error messages that the destination is unreachable after long time waiting for authorization page to open. I am behind proxy and other protocols (ssh/http/https) are running ok through the proxy. I am using Gwibber version 3.3.2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.10.

Here is my system information:

Linux drodil 3.0.0-16-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 12:48:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

This might have something to do with earlier reported bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/259830

I attached log file from gwibber-service -d -o to this error report but it shows no problems to the connectivity. Are there any workarounds or actual solutions on this?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better,
* can you reproduce it ?
* if so than which version are you on ?

Hi. I can reproduce it always. Gwibber version is 3.3.2 as mentioned in the bug report.

For example connecting to Facebook gives me only error:
Cannot connect to destination (graph.facebook.com)

I added some traces to the gwibber python code and it seems to load libproxy correctly but for some reason does not use it.
