Description Nelson Benitez 2008-08-25 10:08:54 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
GIO is not aware of system wide proxy settings and so applications hang when trying to retrieve info about an http file. e.g. dragging a url from epiphany to nautilus:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2008-August/msg00025.html

Steps to reproduce:
1. Be sure you need to configure proxy settings to access internet.
2. Now launch some webpage in epiphany or firefox, and drag its icon from the address bar to the desktop


Actual results:
Nautilus hangs and stops responding..

Expected results:
g_file_query_info() would use the system wide proxy settings to access internet and so nautilus won't hang.

Does this happen every time?
yes

network backends live in gvfs
Comment 2 Mikhail Zabaluev 2008-12-10 14:15:39 UTC 
I can confirm this.
http:, https:, and davs: locations leave Nautilus spinning until the connection times out. GNOME proxy setting is apparently ignored.

Has anybody tried the fix attached to bug #522985?
