Evolution not honoring http/https proxy settings
Last modified: 2006-05-11 04:57:35 UTC
Please describe the problem: Trying to use Evolution Connector and even though http/https proxy settings are defined, it refuses to honor them and tries to connect directly. This worked in earlier versions of Evolution (1.x). Steps to reproduce: Make sure you are on a network that requires http/https proxies to get out to the Internet. 1. Fire the evolution connector setup program 2. Enter appropriate information for userid and OWA URL 3. Click Authenticate Actual results: It ignores the http/https proxy settings and tries to connect directly to the OWA server Expected results: It would work. Does this happen every time? yes, in this scenario Other information: I'm running SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.4 as my window environment. I've configured the http/https proxies via the system and through my normal user environment.
Connector bug. Reassigning component
Please get the E2K_DEBUG traces while you are configuring your account. That should give us some hints on to what exactly is failing for you. The procedure for getting this traces is available at bottom half of this page. http://gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml
My web proxy configuration is as such: env | grep proxy http_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/ ftp_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/ https_proxy=http://10.125.8.38:8080/ I ran: E2K_DEBUG=4 ximian-connector-setup-2.4 >& ximian-setup-e2k_debug.log which resulted in an empty log. What I did do is a 'netstat -an | grep ^tcp' and saw: netstat -an | grep ^tcp tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:37435 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 1 10.72.32.99:1706 64.xx.xx.xx:443 SYN_SENT tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN The 64.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the webmail server. It does resolve, but there is no direct access and I have to use an http/https/ftp proxy to get to the outside world. I also tried turning off resolving hosts via DNS to see if that would force it to use the proxy and this also failed. Thanks.
Created attachment 53118 [details] strace of ximian-connector setup program Here is an strace of the setup program. I compressed it because it is bigger than the 1M limit.
