[Bug 304889] Re: Does not use system proxy settings

[Brian Curtis]

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.
