Description Jeffrey Baker 2002-04-30 14:37:29 UTC 
The proxy settings in Galeon 1.2.1 are apparently broken.  I have installed
1.2.1 and Mozilla 1.0RC1 via Debian packaging.  I have the proxy turned on
for localhost port 3128.  In gconf, I see these settings:

  <entry name="proxy_mode" mtime="1020177084"
schema="/schemas/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/proxy_mode" muser="jwb"
type="int" value="1"/>
  <entry name="proxy_keepalive" mtime="1020139581"
schema="/schemas/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/proxy_keepalive" muser="jwb"
type="bool" value="true"/>
  <entry name="http_proxy" mtime="1020176898"
schema="/schemas/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/http_proxy" muser="jwb"
type="string">
    <stringvalue>noodles</stringvalue>
  </entry>

So, I believe the proxy is enabled.  Unfortunately Galeon always goes
directly to the site and never uses the proxy.  I can confirm this by
seeing no entries in my squid logs when I browse with Galeon.

Mozilla uses the proxy I have configured.

I have exactly the same problem with current galeon
(1.2.0)/mozilla/gtk from
debian testing.
Comment 2 Yanko Kaneti 2002-05-24 09:27:43 UTC 
Did you set these preferences when galeon was not running?
Are they reflected in your ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.js file?

Try changin the values through the galeon configuration interface or
with gconftool-1  but with galeon running.

galeon 1.2.5

I configured the proxy from the Preferences | Advanced | Network
dialog from inside a running galeon and my changes were NOT reflected
to ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/prefs.js.

After playing around a while I noticed that a line
  user_pref("network.proxy.http", "127.0.0.1");
was added but a line about http_port was still missing. (I had entered
127.0.0.1 and port 8000).

I restarted galeon, changed just the http port setting to 42 and
exited. This time a line saying:
  user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 42);
WAS added.

I started galeon again, changed the port to 8000 and exited and
finally the file said:
  user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8000);

After restarting galeon the proxy worked.
