GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 110519
does not set /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In a recent version of GNOME (somewhere between 2.2 beta and 2.2 final), the weather applet stopped working for me from behind a proxy. It seems that the weather applet relies on /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy being set, but that the network preferences applet modifies only /system/proxy/mode. I have filed bug 110518 against gweather applet, as I suspect the new method is to use /system/proxy and that gweather applet should be updated to use the new value, however I have also filed this bug against network preferences applet in case selecting one of the "Direct", "Manual", or "Automatic" radio buttons should also set the /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy appropriately.

This was fixed by fcrozat's commit to gnome-control-center on 2003-03-04. He also fixed it in the gnome-2-2 branch, so it should be in the next GNOME 2.2 release.
