Description ikke 2008-12-04 08:37:43 UTC
Please describe the problem:
This is related to bug 492076, but slightly different. In our company we have auto proxy config which is typically used. That has worked for years with 99% of applications. But Epiphany seems to block at least gtalk.

Steps to reproduce:
1. configure gtalk account
2. enable gnome preferences -> network proxy -> automatic proxy connection
3. enable gtalk account

-> no connect

4. change gnome preferences -> network proxy -> manual proxy conf

-> gtalk becomes available

5. change back to autoconf of proxy

-> gtalk drops


Actual results:
you can drop the gtalk connection by changing proxy to autoconf

Expected results:
it should be able to parse the autoconf

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
this is common with many linux programs. Os is Fedora 10.

forgot to mention, that between the steps 4 and 5 you need to disable and re-enable gtalk from accounts. Empathy does not sniff the gnome proxy settings change.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-03-20 11:09:40 UTC
Confirming this bug for now as Empathy should certainly do a better job in proxy management but MC is probably guilty as well.
Comment 3 Sumana Harihareswara 2009-11-03 02:52:17 UTC
ikke, you're probably on a more modern version of GNOME and of Empathy now.  Could you check whether this problem is still happening?

Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-11-30 15:31:23 UTC
Empathy basically doesn't support any kind of proxy atm. Closing this bug as a
dup of bug #602824 for now. We'll reconsider specific case once we'll have
generic proxy support working.
