GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 92840
CDDBSlave does not support proxies
Last modified: 2010-01-12 00:11:59 UTC
If user is behind firewalls and uses proxies (and HTTP) to access CDDB then CDDBSlave is not able to work correctly (it will still try to connect to port 888 and does not use proxy server)
Should it be made to respect the global proxy setting maybe?
s/maybe/definitely/ :) [Ted, those gconf keys live in /system/proxy and/or /system/http_proxy if you need them.]
*** Bug 126926 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this still relevant?
Yes. I had a look at musicbrainz lately, and it supports proxies already, so a move to musicbrainz may fix the proxy issue, too.
does musicbrainz use the gconf-set proxies?
It can be set to do so, yes. Totem has example code already.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. vumeter, cddb, and gnome-cd have been removed since GNOME 2.28. They have long been abandonned, and it's now time to close your bug that will most probably never be fixed. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
