GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563071
gnome-network-preferences doesn't ignore IPv6 localhost when configuring proxy
Last modified: 2018-08-17 13:47:52 UTC
Please describe the problem: In the Ignored Host List, there are localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, and *.local. It includes the loopback IP address for IPv4, but does not include it for IPv6. It should add ::1 (i.e., 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) which is the IPv6 address form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost Also, it does include the .localhost TLD which is a reserved top-level domain defined in RFC 2606. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.localhost Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gnome-network-preferences 2. Go to Ignored Hosts 3. Observe Problem Actual results: No ::1 in ignored hosts list Expected results: ::1 is ignored as a local host loopback Does this happen every time? Yep Other information: From Launchpad https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/304621
The default ignored hosts are specified in system_http_proxy.schemas which is supplied by gnome-vfs (I guess that's something we should change sometime soon...).
Mass re-assignin old gnome-vfs http bugs to gnome-vfs-maint@gnome.bugs so they disappear from my "My bugs" list. Sorry for the spam.
This is still a issue in the GNOME 2.30 release.
gnome-vfs got deprecated in 2008. gnome-vfs is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in 2011. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-vfs/commits/master gio (in glib) and gvfs are its successors. See https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch33.html and https://people.gnome.org/~gicmo/gio-migration-guide/ for porting info. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent + supported version of glib/gio/gvfs. Thanks!
