[Bug 164301] Re: Bugs behind proxy server with/without authentication
The latest version of Pidgin still doesn't fetch the buddy icons behind a Squid proxy server. Haven't tried it on my 8.10 system lately, but I'm quite sure it still doesn't. Some months ago I managed to get a fix on this by hacking into the pidgin source code - the yahoo protocol part. But after two or three pidgin updates, I get lazy to hack the source code again. So basicly when connecting behind a proxy server, the newer version of pidgin already got a workaround. It has a different approach when it connects behind a proxy or not. But this gives a new problem for squid : When fetching a buddy icons, Squid needs to know what is the full url of the image is. Pidgin only gives: the host and then the filename. And so Squid fails to understand where the actual image location is, because it needs to know : the host and the full url. Maybe I could post the source-code hack later. I hope my explanation is clear enough ... -- Bugs behind proxy server with/without authentication https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 164301] Re: Bugs behind proxy server with/without authentication
A few correction for my previous comment : Pidgin did use the full-url workaround if the user are using it behind a proxy server. So the problem should be fixed by now if you are connecting behind a normal proxy server. In my university's network, the ports for Yahoo Messenger are open. So the users don't have to connect to the proxy server to use YM. But because the buddy icons is fetched not through the YM ports, the users still need to use the proxy server for this. Luckily, the settings for the buddy-icons-fetching are not account specific. It depends on the tools-preferences-network-configure proxy settings. So the users can set their YM account to not using proxy, and set the buddy- icons-fetching activites to use proxy. The problem is, Pidgin still looks into the account specific setting to decide wether the user is using proxy or not So in my case, the buddy icon is still fetched without the full-url. Here's my workaround. On the source code, find the file : libpurple/protocols/yahoo/yahoo_picture.c. There should be a line containing : gboolean use_whole_url = FALSE; change this to : gboolean use_whole_url = TRUE; this way, pidgin doesn't care if you use proxy or not, it always use full url to fetch buddy icons. I don't understand why they don't simply always use a full url for this code. Compile it and replace the file : /usr/lib/purple-2/libyahoo.so . But anyway, I think that workaround is only needed if you're facing the same rare cases as I do. -- Bugs behind proxy server with/without authentication https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Doesn't looks good. The d4x's author doesn't response my e-mail. Looks like this project is down for good. How about making another downloader based on d4x source-code and start maintaining it ?

Yeah , I got this bug too. From my investigation, it's actually not the menu bar that is missing, but the labels for the menu bar that are missing (such as File etc). The menu bar is still there, but it doesn't have any labels.

I've found out the cause of this problem. It's the Disable all menu access keys option accessible from Edit Keyboard Shortcut.

[Bug 164301] Re: Bugs behind proxy server with/without authentication
I'm actually unsure who's to be blame here : pidgin or squid. But one thing for sure : those two doesn't work together pretty well. I've already tested pidgin on a commercial OS , but the results are the same. Some weeks ago I also mail this bug on pidgin's mailing list but they haven't respond to this problem yet. And I'm pretty sure this bug also affect file transfer.
