We still have this problem behind our enterprise's proxy with Natty beta 2.
The proxy was set in GNOME with System --> Preferences --> Network proxy and applied system wide. In a terminal, here is what I can see : $ env | grep proxy http_proxy=http://proxyxxx.ch:80/ ftp_proxy=http://proxyxxx.ch:80/ https_proxy=http://proxyxxx.ch:80/ no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local When trying to report a crash using apport, I get after several minutes an error message like "Unable to connect to the crashes database. Please check your Internet connection. <urlopen error [Errno 110] Connection aborted by timeout>". (note: this text was translated from French and does probable not match exactly the one in an English system). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94130 Title: HTTPS over proxy fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
