Description Stephen Halloran 2003-01-05 11:18:48 UTC
In Galeon 1.2.7, you could quickly switch the proxy settings on and off via
a menu option.

This feature seems to be missing from Galeon 1.3.1.

While I know that the proxy selection stuff is now in the gnome config, It
would be useful to be able to quickly switch the use of the web proxy for
Galeon on and off.
Comment 1 Jeffrey Baker 2003-02-17 02:12:39 UTC
I fully agree.  Part of the problem is Galeon will not pickup changes
except when starting up.  You can fiddle the proxy setting all day
long but it doesn't change a dang thing in the browser.  Very
confusing.  If Galeon is going to use the GNOME proxy setting, it must
listen for changes.
Comment 2 Tommi Komulainen 2003-03-02 18:30:39 UTC
Changes in proxy prefs are now noticed by galeon.  It is unclear
whether we're going to restore the quick toggle.
Comment 3 Stephen Halloran 2003-03-03 00:32:26 UTC
Having the quick toggle back would be very useful, at least until the
Gnome Network Proxy applet lets you add 'don't proxy these sites' easily.

Is this (don't proxy these sites) going to happen soon?
If not, perhaps it should be added to galeon.
There have been a number of Debian user comments complaining about
proxy settings. For example http://bugs.debian.org/187254
Comment 5 Tommi Komulainen 2003-04-12 11:30:37 UTC
See bug 44098.

I implemented it because Galeon removed the feature. It changes the Gnome
settings directly.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2014-08-26 19:51:05 UTC
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log

This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone
takes the responsibility for active development again.
