GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 44098
Need a preference ui to configure which hosts/domains NOT to use the proxy for
Last modified: 2005-01-23 18:50:03 UTC
In the Navigation sections of the preferences dialog, we have a way for the user to specify an http proxy. However, we dont have a way to specify which hosts/domains not to use the proxy for. ------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2000-12-07 18:57:39 ---- This problem is actually broader than mozilla. It's in gnome-vfs as well. ------- Additional Comments From ramiro@fateware.com 2000-12-28 16:10:45 ---- I agree it a bigger problem than just mozilla. Im inclinded to defer at least the mozilla part. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:44 -------
Reassigning bugs from myself to nautilus-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
moving to the control panel, since these preferences are now located there. Let them decide if this is necessary.
Maybe someone should summarize the recent thread about the design of the new proxy dialog in here?
ping marco...does your dialog dot this?
Nope we doesnt have such option atm. It could be added I guess.

This feature should really go in for Gnome 2.4. Also I don't really see this as an enhancement, but a crucial requirement. The no proxy box should use regexps to specify a list of hosts/domains for which to skip proxying. Can anyone provide a UI mockup ?

This bug is really in two parts: one is the "artistic" portion of designing an acceptable way to enter the data. That seems to have stalled somewhat. The other part is the technical effort of recording the values in gconf and then using them in, for example, gnome-vfs. The gnome-vfs portion is in bug #112979 and is now being worked on. Once that is done, I will start on the technical portion of this bug and then we can have the endless debate over how the dialog box should look. This bug _really_ needs to be fixed. I am tired of plugging my laptop in at work, configuring to use the proxy and then losing the ability to access even localhost.

118978 is not really duplicate: I did not mean "proxy except for host ..."! I meant proxy to use for Galeon but not for gweather. Also I do have multiple proxies (filtering and/or caching). There are many different sorts of proxies! There need to be much more choice than just "use proxy for this host and not for this" Actually, except for localhost I never used the above feature. A little bit off-topic: I would vote for a GNOME (client/userside proxy). Why? We could make good use of it before a Webbrowser goes out with his request. One proxy for everybody and every application is surely the wrong way. And it can not be a solution to deselect a proxy if one application ha s a problem. Many people use more than one application at a time.
Thilo: comments for this are in the original bug.
well now this bug is 4 years old. I think either it should be resolved or marked as WONTFIX. What's up?
This SHOULD be resolved. WONTFIX on such an essential configuration item is just silly and ignoring the problem.

Bumping version as changes in the UI aren't going to happen in 2.8.x anyway. There's a good chance it's too late to do this for 2.10 since UI freeze is looming on the horizon.
This is in. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 147666 ***
