Description now michael@endbracket.net 2003-04-11 03:57:14 UTC 
When a user configures a Web proxy using the "Network proxy" preferences
applet, the weather applet does not use this proxy.  This results in the
weather applet showing "Updating..." for quite some time, then showing
"Retrieval Failed" in the tooltip, and not displaying the current weather.
Comment 1 now michael@endbracket.net 2003-04-11 04:00:33 UTC 
After playing around with the proxy settings using GConf Editor, it
seems that GWeather Applet relies on the
/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy key being set to yes, but the
Network Proxy Configuration Applet does not set this key, rather it
changes the value of /system/proxy/mode to "none", "manual", or "auto".

Perhaps GWeather Applet needs to be updated to use this key.
Comment 2 now michael@endbracket.net 2003-04-11 04:08:00 UTC 
Conversely, perhaps the Network Proxy Configuration Applet needs to
set /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy.  Bug 110519 deals with this option.
Comment 3 Kevin Vandersloot 2003-04-11 04:19:49 UTC 
gweather uses gnome-vfs forthe network stuff so the bug is in
gnome-vfs or control-panel, whichever is at fault.

I'm going to mark this as a dependency on #110519
