GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167282
Hangs at "Polling feeds..." stage if gnome network proxy is configured.
Last modified: 2005-02-13 17:19:11 UTC
Version details: also seen in versions up to and including 0.25.1 Distribution/Version: Debian testing/unstable 1. Set the machine's network proxy to "Automatic proxy configuration" (I use my university's .pac file: http://www.cam.ac.uk/proxyconfig.pac) by going to the GNOME menu and selecting Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Network Proxy. 2. Open straw, and try to refresh feed(s). 3. Straw places the "cog" icon next to the feed(s) and waits, seemingly forever. If, however, the network proxy is set to "Direct internet connection" then feeds update fine. See also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245628
