Yes, I did. 8080 was the default value; I assumed it would be ignored if the host was left blank. Further, using gconf-editor's "unset key" action on /system/http_proxy/port sets it back to 8080
Through the applet I cannot completely unset the port. It gets set to 0 if I blank it out (and the gconf key /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy stays set) So presumably either this applet should be changed to default to 0; or other things (gnome-session?) should ignore the [other] settings for http_proxy if the host is blank; or the the applet should unset the key /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy if the host is blank, and whatever sets the environment variable should read the key /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy instead of using /system/http_proxy/host and /system/http_proxy/port. -- http_proxy defined incorrectly https://launchpad.net/bugs/78098 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
