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
