SOFTWARE VERSION: 1.2009.42-11.002 (Settings > General > About product) EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: (Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears)) 1. Install gpodder, and add my proxy settings to my wireless profile. 2. Start Gpodder 3. Try to fetch a list of top 50 podcast EXPECTED OUTCOME: It should pull down a list of top 50 podcast for me to choose which to subscribe to ACTUAL OUTCOME: It loads for a long time then says "no podcast found in source" REPRODUCIBILITY: (always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10) always EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:non OTHER COMMENTS: All internet traffic in my network must go through a network proxy. I always add my proxy settings to my wireless profile ( Internet connections/connections/wiress access point/edit/advance/proxy settings ) All core system applications use this proxy settings (miroB,skype etc) however it seems gpodder does not work with the system wide proxy. It only works if i export my http_proxy to /etc/profile. ( but doing that prevent microB from working https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7235 )It would be really nice if proxy support could be added to gpodder User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.30 Safari/532.5
Thanks for the report. This seems to be an issue with other software other than MooBox, see bug 6931 for more info. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 6931 ***

Sorry for the noise, wrong tab!
Does anybody know where the proxy settings are stored on Maemo, so that I can read them from within gPodder and apply it to connections? Also, is there a way to detect the changing of proxy settings (e.g. when someone is switching from 3G to WiFi, and the proxy settings change because of that) so that I can change the proxy settings inside my application while it's running?
First of I want to say that I am not a complete noob at programming and maemo so my words should not be taken as the gospel. From the little I understand. Maemo does have system proxy settings in a way similar to GNOME: using GConf. There's an API which applications are supposed to use for the proxy (e.g. gconf's /system/proxy/mode or libconic's con_ic_connection_get_proxy_mode) I Got some documentations here. http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Connectivity_Components/Maemo_Connectivity#Getting_Proxy_Settings. so based on Felipe Contreras (maintainer of msn-pecan) response to a same bug i filed against telepathy haze. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26330 on how he fixed the proxy issue in msn-pecan "In telepathy-msn-pecan I hacked the internal libpurple so that it assumes we are in a GNOME environment (the current checks return 'false'). Then libpurple goes on fetching the proxy settings using system calls to gconftool-2 (ugly!) and everything works fine."
Another helpful link on how to implement this: https://vcs.maemo.org/svn/pymaemo/packages/python-conic/branches/chinook/tests/test_proxies.py Patches against gPodder gladly accepted :)
