Package: xscreensaver Version: xscreensaver-text --url does not interpret http_proxy variable correctly Severity: minor
Most programs I know accept the following: export http_proxy=http://username:passw...@hostname:port Not so with 'xscreensaver-text --url'. It complains about an 'unrecognized port', probably because it didn't expect a second colon in the line. It would be nice if xscreensaver-text could accept username/password combinations and use them to authenticate against the proxy. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libglib1.2 <none> (no description available) ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-18.1 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library pn xlib6g <none> (no description available) Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 6b-14 Programs for manipulating JPEG fil ii netpbm 2:10.0-12 Graphics conversion tools ii perl [perl5] 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction pn wordlist <none> (no description available) pn xli | xloadimage | xv <none> (no description available) Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii elinks [www-browser] 0.12~pre2.dfsg0-1 advanced text-mode WWW browser pn fortune <none> (no description available) ii iceweasel [www-browser 3.0.6-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.7dev13-1 Text-mode WWW Browser with NLS sup pn qcam | streamer <none> (no description available) pn xdaliclock <none> (no description available) pn xscreensaver-gl <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
