[Sugar-devel] Fwd: #841 UNSP: SoaS should support using a proxy server

[Tomeu Vizoso]

This would make a nice feature for 0.90. We should use the same gconf
settings as GNOME:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-vfs/tree/schemas/system_http_proxy.schemas.in

Tomeu

 Assigning this over to sugar, as I guess it could be handled as part of a

Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: #841 UNSP: SoaS should support using a proxy server

[Caroline Meeks]

I am working with a school in NH where we can get Sugar to boot and run on
some of their machines but we can't get it to connect to the internet
because the school uses a proxy server.  I am going to a NH LUG meeting
tonight to try to recruit a local linux person to help support them.

Is this likely to be a pointer to how to fix their internet connection
problems?

Thanks,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,

You might want to try setting the gnome proxy server settings as I believe
(this theory is untested) xulrunner and telepathy should recognise those
settings. you can get that by running gnome-network-properties which is part
of the control-center package (no idea off hand if that is in SoaS by
default), but you can also set it using the command line but I'm not sure
how off hand.

Tested on OLPC XO-1.5 builds ... you can run gnome-network-properties or
gnome-control-panel from Terminal, change the proxy server settings, and
then run Browse and the proxy server is used.

gnome-network-properties appears as a window over the Terminal and
includes a close button, and Sugar provides a border control to close or
stop.

gnome-control-panel doesn't include an explicit graphical close or stop
feature; it relies on the window manager, and Sugar doesn't provide that
action visually.  So to escape from it use Control/Q in the window, or
Control/C on the Terminal.

I presume this just sets gconf keys so it might be useful functionality to
add to the sugar network control panel so it can be set easier.

Yes, perhaps.  There are many keys.  gnome-network-properties controls
quite a few.  The one that was changed by my test was

/system/http_proxy/host

Others at the same level include:

authentication_password
authentication_user
ignore_hosts
port
use_authentication
use_http_proxy
use_same_proxy

There's also a collection at /system/proxy, including:

autoconfig_url
ftp_host
ftp_port
mode
secure_host
secure_port
socks_host
socks_port

Network Proxy Preferences on F11 also provides multiple location
choices.

I imagine large scale deployments of Sugar would use the gconf keys
directly rather than expose all this complexity unnecessarily.

Agreed, we can/should also document how to do this for deployements within
the kickstart file.
