[Bug 94056] Gnome Proxy with Authentication

[Juergen Beckmerhagen]

Public bug reported:

Using Feisty (Linux 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 18 03:07:14 UTC
2007 i686 GNU/Linux) on my company laptop.

I am working in one of our offices behind a proxy needing authentication
(username, password).

With System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy I configured "Automatic
proxy configuration", but I can not enter a username and password, nor
does any of the applications prompt me for these authentication details
- except for Firefox.

... with this I can not use Gaim, Skype, Synaptic, etc. while I am at
the office. Nor does Evolution download pictures contained in emails
coming from outside our intranet.

Other than that: Network support in Feisty is just great! I benefit from
the roaming features a lot as I am working in different locations all
the time.

** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
