Comment 24 for bug 259830

Running Ubuntu 9.10 / karmic final and both the version of Gwibber in the normal repo, and the daily repo version (2.0.0-bzr478-0ubuntu2~daily1) do not work via a proxy (squid proxy auth required).

* Setting the Gnome Network Proxy setting has no effect.
* Exporting http_proxy and https_proxy in a terminal then running it has no effect.
* Made a script, exported those two vars, then run Gwibber and it does not work.

Tailing the access log of Squid shows Gwibber isn't even trying to connect to the proxy.

At this time, unless you have direct Internet access, it appears you cannot use Gwibber. Weird thing is, exporting those vars used to work (before version 2).

Would be great to see this fixed and working.
