Description Malcolm Tredinnick 2003-05-18 02:00:25 UTC 
The FTP module does all of its connections directly to the source. It
should at least respect the FTP proxy settings (and possibly the ignore
host settings for the HTTP proxy, too). In some network scenarios (e.g. my
workplace), this prevents the FTP module from being usable at all.

I will fix this at some point soon (before 2.4 freeze time).

This is just a friendly reminder: Maybe you could look into it? It would be good
to have the proxy settings adopted througout GNOME. Currently, ftp-method.c
seems to contain a USE_PROXY_KEY variable which points at the use_proxy_key
gconf key string, but it isn't evaluated/used anywhere.

Fix for this bug

Maybe an optional authentication dialog for FTP proxies that require it should
be provided as well.

This looks at least better than what we have. I commited this with a few indentation fixed, and i made it not use ftp proxy if the proxy hostname is blank.

It would be nice if it catched runtime changes to the gconf key though.
