Comment 6 for bug 484529

Whenever I enable automatic proxy configuration in Gnome Settings providing a link to wpad.dat, Rhythmbox fails to connect to external resources. It says it cannot resolve target hostnames. Other applications like firefox work fine.
For example Last.FM plugin says: Cannot resolve hostname (turtle.libre.fm)
If I switch proxy mode to manual and configure proxy's hostname and port Rhythmbox work fine.
Unfortunately manual mode is not applicable for me, as there is no way to configure "no-proxy" exceptions
I believe the bug is still there
