GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 748886
authentication for https proxy
Last modified: 2021-05-25 12:42:35 UTC
It would seem, looking at org.gnome.system.proxy.http{,s} that while one can set authentication for http, the same is not used for https. Why is that? Why should one not be able to use the same authentication with one's HTTPS proxy when it's also one's HTTP proxy?

For reference: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gsettings-desktop-schemas/tree/schemas/org.gnome.system.proxy.gschema.xml.in.in?h=gnome-3-14#n86 > Why is that? Because nobody needed it thus far.
Dan, is this something we should add? I can file the glib-networking bug for that if necessary.
Yes please! :-) But really, I'd much rather see support for Negotiate (on both http and https proxy types) support. ;-)
Probably I guess (although our proxy schema really needs to be taken out and shot and replaced with something simpler)
(In reply to Dan Winship from comment #4) > Probably I guess (although our proxy schema really needs to be taken out and > shot and replaced with something simpler) I'd be fine with doing that, as it would also tie into how we offer that configuration in the UI. Can you explain what it should offer as settings?
I don't really remember what needs to be done, although there are a handful of open bugs (either in glib-networking or gsettings-desktop-schemas). And the fact that a bunch of fields in the existing schema are deprecated and unused.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
