All the issues related to libproxy for starters, like not being able to get a popper configuration with GNOME 2, and thus all the DE's that already rely on those GConf settings, like Xfce. And all the issues related to GNOME 3 configuration, like the fact that all authentication is missing.

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
C de-Avillez: First of all, let's remember that you don't have to fix all the CM's to fix this issue. Ubuntu can fix this *today*, regardless of the status of the telepathy CM's (1) This is pointless, because a) it's not needed, and b) each CM has different issues regarding proxy support. * telepathy-haze This works fine. * telepathy-butterfly It uses papyon, which looks like it's going to be discontinued. It has basic proxy support, but it's not done through GIO, as it probably should be. * telepathy-gabble Seems to have proxy support through GIO, but there are issues. * telepathy-idle No proxy support on the horizon. * telepathy-rakia No proxy support on the horizon. Or bug report about it. * telepathy-sunshine No proxy support on the horizon. Or bug report about it. Even if you fix all these issues in the connection-managers, this *still* doesn't solve the problem that some people need proxy configuration in a per-proxy way, as explained upstream bug #16034, you would need modifications both in the connection managers, *AND* Empathy. (2) I have already done that: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.telepathy/4103 Some responses I've heard from upstream developers, are "Nobody uses proxies", "Nobody uses HTTP connect", "Sysadmins probably never allow HTTP connect for non 443 ports", "If you need special proxies for some accounts, write your own PAC file". And similar. The fact of the matter is that they have no urgency to fix this, or even acknowledge the problems. In the meantime, people are completely unable to use Empathy, and are forced to use Pidgin (or use telepathy-haze by removing all the other CM's Ubuntu ships by default). Again, Ubuntu could fix this *today*, it doesn't have to wait for upstream to acknowledge this is an issue. (3) I didn't get that. Pedro Villavicencio: That's only if you use global settings, and as I argued in the response for (1); that's not enough. Upstream bug bug #22065 complains about that, and upstream bug #16034 describes the solution, which requires modifications to Empathy. So, I repeat, do you want to fix this or not?

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
> But there is nothing to be done for Empathy itself here -- so it is Invalid as a bug task. This is not true. The upstream "support" would just use the GNOME proxy settings, and it would not be possible to configure the proxy per- account, for that you would still need changes in Empathy. If you assume this is only to read the system settings, then yes, this is not a bug in Empathy, it has to be implemented in all the telepathy connection managers but the list above (haze, gabble, and idle) is not nearly complete. Plus, none of those bugs have any priority, severity, or even any comment there. At this point it would be useful to do what Fedora does, have keep this bug open as a metabug, or tracking bug, and when all the telepathy CM's are fixed, then this is closed. Moreover, the upstream tracking bugs are wrong. Bug #22065 is not to use system proxy settings in telepathy-haze, in fact, it's for exactly the opposite; have an option to *disable* the proxy for this particular account, for which actually, you would need changes in Empathty. In fact, if you read the comments above in this bug report, you would see that people confirm that telepathy-haze is actually the only one that works. You could fix this bug *today* if you wanted to, by just distributing telepathy-haze, and not the other connection managers. So there's something Ubuntu can do to fix this, but you just don't want to. Bug #16034 has nothing to do with system proxy settings, which supposedly telepathy-gabble already supports (although not that smoothly). It is about user/password authentication to the proxy. Interestingly enough if you read comment #2, a telepathy developer suggests as an option to modify Empathy to allow configuring the proxy settings in a *per account* way: > (b) Empathy gains http-proxy-server, http-proxy-port, http-proxy- username and http-proxy-password parameters in the Advanced area of account config Bug #12376 is correct, but as you can see, there's nothing going on over there. So, do you want to fix this or not? If you want to fix this, then closing the bug is like shuffling it under the carpet... It won't achieve anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/304889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
@Michal: there is a disconnect here: technically -- which where the bug tasks come in -- this is not an Empathy issue: Empathy does not do network. Network activities are performed by the so-called Connection Managers (which I called protocol handlers), usually the telepathy- modules. Support for proxy must be added in these modules, not on Empathy. This may be -- or not -- a major undertaking; I do not know. But, no matter what, the best place to ask for it is "upstream" (where the authors reside). For each of the current valid tasks on this bug, there is a link to the upstream bug. I had a quick look at them, and it seems pretty much nothing has been done by the developers regarding proxy usage. Comments there would probably help more than here. And I do agree that lacking proxy support is not good. But this is a bug, a technical report of an error/issue. No matter what you (or jorge above) think, we have to have the correct modules listed. Empathy (overall) suffers with the lack of proxy support. But there is nothing to be done for Empathy itself here -- so it is Invalid as a bug task. On the other hand, telepathy-gabble, telepathy-haze, and telepathy-idle are correctly set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/304889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
> And still not an Empathy issue. There is nothing to be done on Empathy @hggdh2: With all due respect, I cannot agree with you. Consider this (real!) scenario: In my company, I use IM multi protocol client on Ubuntu. I need to have 4 accounts: 1. local (jabber) --> local intranet server1 [must use DIRECT http, must NOT use proxy] 2. gtalk (jabber) --> internet via http proxy [must use http via PROXY] 3. exchange (sipe) --> local intranet server2 [must use directly http, must NOT use proxy] 4. one more (gg) --> internet via http proxy [must use http via PROXY] Obviously, this can be done only if IM client let's me to setup http_proxy per account. Empathy does not. It is missing this feature. This is the reason, why I (and a lot of my colleagues in50 000+ employees company) are using Pidgin instead of Empathy which is the default Ubuntu IM client. Of course not all of employees are using Ubuntu, but all of them are potentially affected by this bug. Only in this one company. There are several others companies, campuses etc in similar situation. Please also note, that many popular applications have builtin proxy settings (Firefox, Pidgin, ...). It's not a critical feature for IM, but for multi communicator it's important.

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
Hello, I've just reconfirmed this bug exists with several Telepathy ?backends? when attempting to use a SOCKS proxy... an HTTP connect proxy is configured to forward connections through the available socks proxy. I've switched to Pidgin and this is confirmed to work, however it's in no way a solution to any problem... at best it's a cheap work around. Here is one solution... Place these into /etc/rc.local and run it: daemon -n socat5223 -- socat -ly TCP-LISTEN:5223,fork,reuseaddr SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:talk.google.com:5223,socksport=9050 daemon -n socat5222 -- socat -ly TCP-LISTEN:5222,fork,reuseaddr OPENSSL:127.0.0.1:5223,verify=0 You'll need both the daemon and socat packages installed. Then one should be able to set localhost as the server to connect to. socat can also make use of HTTP connect proxies, I believe. Why you wouldn't put this into your application is beyond me, it's a little bit of shell scripting and it would close the bug... you could even make use of UNIX domain sockets. It's only politics that keeps this bug open, ppls own agendas getting in the way of implementing options/features users are requesting. "Why would an application developer care about the available features on an HTTP proxy they would likely never use?" The use should be able to configure and use proxies, don't know why this is so difficult a concept to understand. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/304889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, telepathy-haze is just another Telepathy Connection Manager.

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
As an update to everyone interested. There are tons of limitations as to getting this bug complete. As of right now proxy works for Gabble (mind glib-networking has to be installed), there is some interest in porting idle to GIO which may allow proxying to work. For a lot of other connection managers this either isn't possible or severely limited. haze is a libpurple implementation, and telepathy has no control over that. Plus haze can't allow popups for password questions and therefore even if libpurple supported it, it would have severe limitations. This is not an empathy bug but a bug with the connection manager themselves, and therefore I'm closing all empathy instances. ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: empathy Importance: High => Undecided ** Changed in: empathy Status: Unknown => New ** Changed in: empathy Remote watch: GNOME Bug Tracker #492076 => None ** Changed in: empathy Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
@Nicolas > But the fact is that this method had never worked. Grep for "pidgin" in this thread. That method works. In fact, it's the only one that does. That's why this bug exists and people are annoyed; the default IM client used to work (Pidgin), now it doesn't (Empathy). What I would have done is write something that works, like your code for socks and http proxies, and make it a library, or just copy it inside the most popular CM's (gabble and butterfly) with a git submodule. This way you wouldn't be relying on GLib slowness/stubbornness. Once GLib has proper proxy support, you switch. Problem solved. The next problem is configurability. Instead of relying _completely_ on libproxy, I would allow the option to override the proxy configuration with a CM property, this way even if libproxy is buggy (which it is), the user would not be stuck. I would have also added the option to read directly from GConf, and let the user be able to choose this option. > so I took the long road With my proposal you have the benefit of both. When libproxy/GIO are truly ready, you can switch easily, and everyone benefits. In the meantime, things would work, and this bug would be solved. > having to update things into distribution to get things to work is completely > normal Normal for GNOME people. Other people would rather have something working _right now_, even it's not exactly the mode ideal, generic, extensible, and permanent way of doing things. Hint: Pidgin, XChat, Firefox, Ekiga, etc. > But the reality is that HTTP Connect users represent probably less then 1% of the users Ha! I would like to see proof of that. How about people following this bug mention what type of proxy support they need? (socks, http, etc.) It's important because Nicolas is assuming _everyone_ is using SOCKS, and that is reflected on how libproxy interprets GNOME network configuration. > What Felipe is confusing in his comment is the support for proxy in Telepathy > against bugs in the libproxy implementation. Take a look at the title of this bug: use *system* proxy settings. This means GConf, and this means precisely libproxy. If libproxy returns "socks", when the user is expecting "http" (which it does), then the user wouldn't be able to connect, and this bug remains valid. > We are working hard to make it possible to trigger this choice in libproxy > without the risk of reducing your connectivity What you don't seem to understand is that the connectivity is *zero*, you cannot reduce that, even if you try. Note that libproxy is not used by anything in Unbuntu, so it doesn't matter what you do there, it would not affect anyone negatively. The problem is this GNOME mentality, that everything must be perfect since day 0, and therefore it's OK if things don't work at all before that, which is the current situation. > Felipe also often ignore the miss-adapted configuration tool we have in Gnome. Works in Pidgin. Now, I would not like to give the impression that everything is horrible. There is great progress thanks to the efforts of many people, specially Nicolas; we are getting closer and closer to the generic solution, and I certainly would like to contribute to these efforts, when time allows. However, I would like something that works _right now_, and I think everyone here agrees. So, for me, I'm looking into various solutions that are not "perfect" but should get the job done (any of them): a) By default install only telepathy-haze (no gabble, idle, butterfly, etc.) b) Update to libproxy 0.4.6 and apply a patch so it's possible to return both "http" and "socks" for _all_ protocols (msn, xmpp, irc, etc.) I don't think any other option has any chance of making it for the next Ubuntu release. Also, I would like to correct my previous statement that MSN would not work. It does seem that the latest telepathy-butterfly has the option to override whatever libproxy is passing, so it's possible to get it working. However, that would not resolve this bug.

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
When I first started working on proxy in Telepathy there was two ways this could be fixed. The quick way would have been to implement it in every single network oriented application. To do so you just have to find another project that match licence, copy paste some code do basic testing and your done. But the fact is that this method had never worked. The big portrait is that every software interpret the configuration differently (mainly due to ambiguities in the configuration) or has incomplete implementation. I was bored of that, so I took the long road, that one that can benefit all and eventually ensure that network oriented application don't have to care about proxy since it will just work. This road is to get proxy support to be handled by libraries like GIO and libproxy. In contrast to what Felipe says, having to update things into distribution to get things to work is completely normal, and takes time. We can't implement features in already existing versions and we can't maintain hundreds of different branches of every projects so the distro does not have to update. Getting this in the next Ubuntu release has nothing to do about doubt, it's about priority. If 100% of the targeted users where using HTTP Connect proxy, all this would be updated much faster. But the reality is that HTTP Connect users represent probably less then 1% of the users, I don't think it's enough people to justified the risk and the energy required to get those new features in so quickly. What you should do instead if you have the knowledge and time is to test those things, discuss and report precise bugs and create testimonial for distro that says it's working. Finally, Telepathy Butterfly (the MSN backend) has full HTTP/HTTP Connect/SOCKS support. I don't know where Felipe got that it does not work for MSN because it works very well. What Felipe is confusing in his comment is the support for proxy in Telepathy against bugs in the libproxy implementation. Yes HTTP Connect is considered an unsafe choice in libproxy. HTTP Connect server (the commercial ones) has a large reputation of implementing filters and port blocking that usually reduces your connectivity. We are working hard to make it possible to trigger this choice in libproxy without the risk of reducing your connectivity, but we have hit an internal design issue that needs more time. Felipe also often ignore the miss-adapted configuration tool we have in Gnome. This tool, based on old Netscape Navigator configuration, is undocumented and present ambiguities. On this, some people also have long term solution like a new storage for GSettings/GConf or even an integration with software like NetworkManager or ConnMan. But let me reassure you that as soon as the previously mentioned bug in libproxy is fixed, I'm also going forward with shorter term fixes that should make it work better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
@Guilliame Right, *if* you have at least GLib 2.26, and *if* you have the corresponding glib-networking (which is not packaged in Ubuntu), and *if* you have libproxy 0.4.6 (0.3.1 in Ubuntu), and *if* you have the exact right configuration in GConf (not "Use the same proxy for all protocols"), and *if* you have at least telepathy-gabble 0.10.0 (latest Ubuntu does have it); sure, it would work. Currently that's not the case, and I doubt it would be on the next Ubuntu release. However, that's only for XMPP, for other protocols, like MSN, it wouldn't work, more changes are needed in libproxy for that. So no, I wouldn't hold my breath until this bug is fixed. Unless of course all protocols are supported through libpurple (through telepathy-haze), which people here have confirmed. In this case, this bug would be fixed *today*. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings
Small update. Some Telepathy CM's such as gabble (XMPP) and butterfly (MSN) now have some proxy support, however, they depend on libproxy doing the right thing (which it usually doesn't). So essentially they still don't work. A more generic solution should be implemented in GLib, however, they are reluctant to provide HTTP Connect support because it's "unsafe" (no idea what they are smoking). So, as usual with anything GLib, there's progress, but it will take a long long time before it actually works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
