It doesn't work when you need the proxy (hence the "without proxy" in my comment); it works for me because I only use a caching proxy.
Another possible workaround would be to use a generic interceptor such as proxychains (there are others) which will redirect all connections from a process to a proxy. I don't think urllib2 will be fixed in the near future, but we could look at other means to connect to https for apport (setting up the ssl socket manually I guess). -- HTTPS over proxy fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94130 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
