Public bug reported: When setting up proxy settings in gnome-network-properties, if authentication user and password is provided it is not carried through to the environment variables such as $http_proxy and $HTTP_PROXY. This could be remedied by the user in the following ways:
1. manually setting the username and password in the environment variable 2. installing ntlmaps and allowing that daemon to handle authentication (better for NTLM-auth'd proxies) An example is, if I have a proxy at proxy:8080, and I'm 'delan' with password 'test', then this is what should happen: $ echo $http_proxy http://delan:t...@proxy:8080/ However, this is what happens: $ echo $http_proxy http://proxy:8080/ which is not quite the expected result and breaks authenticated proxy usage. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome-network-properties does not carry authentication username and password through to proxy-related environment variables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615831 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
