[Bug 1130097] Re: geoclue-ubuntu-geoip doesn't support proxies

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for the work there, I've backported the fixes to raring (pre-
required for a SRU), I'm sponsoring the precise SRU but declining the
quantal one since we try to minimize work on nonLTS series. Feel free to
me ping me directly if you really need it upload to the quantal serie
though, we can discuss it

Title:
  geoclue-ubuntu-geoip doesn't support proxies

Status in Ubuntu GeoIP Provider:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-geoip” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-geoip” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  geoclue-ubuntu-geoip doesn't seem to support proxy settings, even when
  they're set in /etc/environment or the System Settings → Network
  section.

  This would be useful for corporate networks where outgoing HTTP is
  blocked, except for when allowed via a proxy.

  [Impact]
  System components should respect system proxy settings.

  [Test Case]
  With non-patched packages, run: kill -9 the geoclue-master and ubuntu-geoip-provider processes while running tcpdump on ports 80 and the port of one's HTTP proxy server.

  One will see the connections go straight to port 80 on the IPs above
  rather than via the proxy.

  [Regression Potential]
  None.
