Paul, is this a duplicate of bug 304?

> SOFTWARE VERSION:
> diablo

That is vague. Please tell us the exact version (4.2008.23-14 or 4.2008.30-2
for example).

my product version is 4.2008.23-14
I am running with all the latest patches, for some reason it hasn't upgraded
the version. 
Linux mytablet 2.6.21-omap1 #2 Wed Jun 11 15:00:15 EEST 2008 armv6l unknown

I had same problem. I enabled the proxy for the Privoxy. After uninstalling
Privoxy, I disabled the proxy but I left 127.0.0.1 in the proxy address fields.
The RSS *AND* Application Manager failed to connect to the internet until I
deleted the 127.0.0.1 from the proxy settings.

N800 with 4.1.2 (4.2008.36-5) here.

I have updated to the newest release of Diablo 4.2008.36-5, problem still
exists AFAICT.

Confirmed on N810/4.2008.36-5.  With a proxy set but disabled I can see the
requests in my squid logs.

I think the real bug may be in the connectivity settings GUI not updating gconf
when the "Use proxy" checkbox is switched off:

$ gconftool-2 -g /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy
true

#998, #3110(?) & #3402 may possibly be different manifestations of the same
issue.

Hm, scratch that.  GConf *is* updated, I was just looking at the wrong place.

Apparently applications are supposed to check /system/proxy/mode (or use
Libconic's con_ic_connection_get_proxy_mode) first.  Looking at the source,
neither osso-rss-feed-reader nor hildon-application-manager do this (don't know
about mediaplayer).

is this or the parent bug going to be looked at, or should we simply assume
people are going to find this out the hard way and get annoyed and frustrated?

It currently looks like this only has a low priority for Nokia unfortunately.

DIABLO 5.2008.43-7:
1. Set up some fake proxy in Connection Settings > Advanced
2. In Terminal, run "gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode". Get "manual".
3. Go to Connection Settings > Advanced
4. Disable "Use proxy"
5. In Terminal, run "gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode". Still get "manual".
Wrong.


Current Fremantle:
1. Set up some fake proxy in Connection Settings > Advanced
2. In Terminal, run "gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode". Get "manual".
3. Go to Connection Settings > Advanced
4. Disable "Use proxy"
5. In Terminal, run "gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode". Get "none".
Correct.

I also tested this with the User Interface of course and RSS feed reader could
access the feeds.
Bug 304 is about the RSS feed reader in Fremantle completely ignoring the
global Proxy.
Hence I could say that testing this bug depends on bug 304, but as the gconf
key clearly behaves differently in Diablo and Fremantle I consider this FIXED
in the internal Fremantle version.

Unfortunately this issue itself described in this bug report is a WONTFIX for
Diablo as Diablo is in maintenance mode and Nokia will only provide bugfixes
for critical issues if at all.
For your interest the Mer project aims to provide a community backport of
Fremantle for N8x0 devices. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer for more information.

Nope, still not fixed:

1. Configure a proxy for the current internet connection.
2. Start watching the proxy logs on the server.
3. Start RSS reader, refresh a feed or two: logs show requests going through
proxy as expected.
4. Disable the proxy for the current internet connection.  Verify
/system/proxy/mode is now "none" (it is). Optionally, restart RSS reader (makes
no difference).
5. Refresh a feed again.  Logs still show the requests going through the proxy.
6. Stop the proxy and refresh again. Refresh fails.

Not really, as that one's about not honouring an autoconfig proxy setting (as
in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config>).  The summary was a bit
misleading though.

Untill this gets fixed, using command

$ gconftool-2 --set /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy --type bool 0

disables proxy usage. After restarting RSS reader it can update feeds again!
Tested on N900 PR1.1.

Comment 13 Andre Klapper 2011-01-17 21:41:04 UTC

"In 10.2010.19-1, feed is not added when Proxy connection is enabled and
previously added feed contents are not deleted, it is displayed when selected.
"unable to add feed, address is invalid" info banner is displayed when user try
to add valid feed also. Hence FIXED (The info banner displaying is not correct,
it should display about netconnection, but that is another issue).
