Title:
Proxy settings "apply system wide" generates the wrong proxy URL ( And
possible solution )
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The settings for the different protocols should generate variable
values as follows:
http_proxy=http://HOST:PORT/
https_proxy=http://HOST:PORT/
ftp_proxy=http://HOST:PORT/
socks_proxy=socks://HOST:PORT
but instead the proxied protocol is used to generate the URL as
follows:
http_proxy=http://HOST:PORT/
https_proxy=https://HOST:PORT/
ftp_proxy=ftp://HOST:PORT/
socks_proxy=socks://HOST:PORT
This breaks apt.conf, webkit applications and every normal app that
depends on an https_proxy as it's not a common practice to connect to
a forward proxy over HTTPS
##### Code ######
The problem seems to be in gnome-control-center, file:
panels/network/net-proxy.c line 377
proxy_str = g_strdup_printf ("%s://%s:%i/", protocol, host, port);
I believe this should instead look like:
proxy_str = g_strdup_printf ("%s://%s:%i/", (protocol ==
"socks")?"socks":"http", host, port);
I would be happy to try it out but I can't find the repository where the
ubuntu-specific patches live, if someone could help me with that I can submit
the patch myself
