GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 547251
Empathy cannot use a proxy with authentification
Last modified: 2009-11-30 15:31:23 UTC
I'm using a proxy with authentification configured in the gnome proxy settings. Pidgin automatically use those settings and connect transparently to any XMPP server. Empathy cannot connect so I suppose it cannot use the proxy/authentification.
Empathy (MissionControl in fact) is supposed to use GNOME proxy settings. I've no proxy myself so I can't test... Maybe related to bug #492076. Close as duplicate?
I'm not sure it's related. If I understand correctly, bug #492076 is about the fact that Empathy shouldn't use the proxy if it's http only. This bug is the opposite ;-) (but if you believe you are the best person to know if it's a duplicate or not) In fact, my issue is simple : - Pidgin works perfectly without the need of doing anything because it uses Gnome proxy - Psi works if I set manually the proxy/user/pass in its preference - Empathy doesn't work
Ok, could be to have debug messages of gabble to know what's happening when it connects. See http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging
Created attachment 116322 [details] Gabble debug log If the log is complete, it's pretty clear that Gabble receive the proxy, the proxy port but not the proxy user nor the proxy password. Firefox gnome integration has the same problem.
It seems gabble does not support proxy user, that could be a gabble bug. I reported on gabble: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17073
Confirming this bug as, once Gabble would support such proxy, Empathy and/or MC will probably need some change to be able to use them.
Empathy basically doesn't support any kind of proxy atm. Closing this bug as a dup of bug #602824 for now. We'll reconsider specific case once we'll have generic proxy support working. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 602824 ***
