Description Brian J. Murrell 2010-11-10 03:50:14 UTC 
evolution-rss seems able to block evolution when it's waiting for DNS name resolutions to complete.  This of course is less-than-ideal.  evolution-rss's operations should be completely asynchronous and not impact the interactive usability of evolution (2.30.3 here).
Comment 1 Lucian Langa 2011-02-21 21:39:46 UTC 
For the record this happens in ep_need_proxy_http() because it uses soup_address_resolve_sync() to resolve URLs. This also happens in other components too, like addressbook and calendar. This is broken by design, currently there is no async implementation of this, I think it was meant to have a generic proxy function for all components. Probably this can only be implemented at component level, the way it proxifies the session, queues message etc.

Created commit 95eae83 in evolution-rss master.
