GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 121917
automatic proxy ignored on first URL when launched from another application
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Galeon is the default browser app for Ximian Desktop. I have it configured to use an automatic proxy configuration script. When I click on a URL in a mail message in Evolution, Galeon is launched but I do not see the web page - the proxy settings are not properly configured. Clicking [ENTER] in the URL field re-queries the page with the proxy settings configured, and the page renders. I don't know if this is a dupe of the other ignoring-auto-proxy-on-startup bug reports, or is a special case that the fix did not address, as running "galeon http://www.somewhere.com/" does indeed work properly through the proxy the first time.
Bug 99923 mentions race condition which could explain the difference between evolution and command line. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 99923 ***
