Muhammad, you didn't read the bug correctly, Empathy uses the proxy. The problem is that you may not want it to use the proxy although you want the other network clients to. Here is the usecase (see also comment #3):
we have a proxy to access the internet, but use an internal chat server for our messaging. So if Empathy can't be told to not use the proxy I can't connect to the internal chat server, since it tries to use the proxy which isn't to be used for internal communications. In Pidgin, you can tell it to not use the proxy, thus Pidgin works in my usecase but Empathy doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/750429 Title: empathy uses proxy when it shouldn't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/750429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
