GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669501
HTTP authentication
Last modified: 2012-02-07 10:56:44 UTC
The Gnome Control Center supports entering of HTTP proxy and applying it system wide. However, it doesnt support a field to enter Username and password for HTTP proxies which require authentication. Because of this, I am unable to use softwares like Empathy as they are unable to connect to the network.
Which exact GNOME version and distribution is this about?
Gnome 3.2. Distribution: Gentoo. The problem also persists in Ubuntu 11.10 which uses 3.2.
