Proxy support using libproxy (9.94 KB, patch)
2010-03-02 07:51 UTC, Yorick Hardy 		none Details | Review

Description Christian Dywan 2009-12-20 10:36:05 UTC 
Currently libsoup ignores the http_proxy environment variable. It should fallback to http_proxy if there is no proxy set in gconf or if the GNOME proxy resolver is not used, at startup.

Proxy support using libproxy

Patch to use libproxy for proxy resolution based largely
on the gnome proxy resolution code.
Comment 2 Yorick Hardy 2010-03-02 07:53:02 UTC 
Does this address the problem where the GNOME proxy resolver is not used?
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2011-11-12 14:44:34 UTC 
libsoup.so now (since 2.34) has SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses GProxyResolver, which picks up libproxy via the glib-networking module. So while it does not *automatically* use http_proxy, all you have to do is tell the session to use a SoupProxyResolverDefault.
