Support proxy configuration via connection parameters
Submitted by Adesuyan
Assigned to Telepathy bugs list
Description
OS/Platform: Maemo5 Freemantle SOFTWARE VERSION: 2.2009.51-1.002
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears))
- Connect to a wireless network which requires proxy to connect to the internet
- add the proxy configuration details to the wireless profile
- Install the Pidgin Protocols Plugin For Conversations And Contact on the N900 and try to connect to supported IM protocols
EXPECTED OUTCOME: Pidgin Protocols Plugin For Conversations And Contact retrives my proxy settings from my wireless profile and uses it to connect or the plugin settings has a gui config which allows me to add my proxy settings.
ACTUAL OUTCOME: I am unable to connect to any IM protocol because of the lack of proxy support.
REPRODUCIBILITY: always
EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
OTHER COMMENTS: Currently there is no way to get this Pidgin Protocols Plugin For Conversations And Contact on the N900 to work when behind a network proxy. I am not a programmer so forgive my naivety on this, I just felt since this plugin was based on telepathy haze which uses libpuple? same plugin as pidgin. It would be easy to make it work with http proxy. It would be nice if a configuration which would allow the user to input their proxy settings is built into the settings UI of the plugin
