[Bug 94130] Re: HTTPS over proxy fails

[Michael M. Garland, III]

Specifically, the Weather applet gives error: "Network error in Weather.
Could not retrieve weather data. You may be experiencing connectivity
issues."  It gives this error when I search for a location and when it
polls for new weather data.

I have env variables set for my proxy server, as well as having it set
in Network Settings in Gnome.  No python scripts work that require
direct http connections; for instance, add-apt-repository fails, as
well.  I use a script that calls gpg directly with the proxy as an
argument to get ppa keys.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  My network is behind a proxy.
  I ran "ubuntu-bug -p desktop-effects" and I received a "no route to host" error.
  The app should try to use the gnome proxy or at least fail notifying the user that he/she might be behind a proxy.
