Bug Description
Reproducer ;
1. Set proxy with UI on user1
Method : Manual
HTTP Proxy : http://
HTTPS Proxy : https:/
Click "Apply system wide"
No warning/error will be shown, but if looking at :
- /etc/environment
- /etc/apt/apt.conf
They won't be updated/created.
The reason is because the protocol is automatically added during the saving process so that the configuration should look as follow : (without the protocol http://, https://)
Method : Manual
HTTP Proxy : test.com Port : 8080
HTTPS Proxy : test.com Port : 9090
In order to improve the user experience, it would be great to have a mechanism that detect if the protocol has been accidentally added to the field, or at least a quick message in the applet window to let the user know to not add the protocol.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
