Description Aaron Gaudio 2004-08-17 17:38:23 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm behind a corporate firewall which has an http proxy. The http
proxy is set up (other gnome applications, such as the stock ticker,
use it fine). I have an audio CD ("Nockturnel Mix Sessions feat.
Robert Oleysyck", but this is true for every audio CD I try) that I
insert into the cdrom. gnome-cd is not able to download the cddb
settings for the disc. I've tried both using the default "freedb
round-robin" as well as manually selecting "freedb.freedb.org:888" via
the "CD Database" capplet, to no avail. 

When I open grip, however, grip is able to download the cddb info; and
amazingly I didn't have to turn on any http proxy settings within grip.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-media-2.6.0-1


How reproducible:
Always (while behind firewall with http proxy, at least)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure gnome http proxy settings are correct.
2. Make sure gnome CD Database settings are correct.
3. Insert audio CD into drive.
4. Open gnome cd player.
  
Actual results:
gnome-cd has no disc or track info available.

Expected results:
gnome-cd is able to get CD info from freedb.org just as grip is able
to do.

Comment 1 Colin Walters 2004-09-22 05:03:18 UTC
Is grip using freedb.freedb.org?

Comment 2 Aaron Gaudio 2004-09-22 13:02:14 UTC
Here is my grip config:

DB server: freedb.freedb.org
CGI path: ~cddb/cddb.cgi
DB Submit email: freedb-submit
No secondary server set.

Use freedb extensions: Yes
Perform disc lookups automatically: Yes

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2004-09-24 23:35:30 UTC
Well, if gnome-cd is using your proxy, and freedb isn't, could it
actually be your proxy is blocking gnome-cd?  What if you unset it?

Comment 4 Aaron Gaudio 2004-12-01 21:29:16 UTC
Both gnome-cd and grip must be using my proxy because I'm behind a
firewall and it wouldn't get any data otherwise. It must be using my
http_proxy environment variable, since I did not set up the proxy
within grip.

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 6 Aaron Gaudio 2005-04-28 14:30:37 UTC
This still happens in FC3. From browsing the source code for cddb-slave2, it
looks like cddb-slave2 is using parts of the gnet library, so I doubt that it
will even try to use the http proxy.

Comment 7 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 22:33:10 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!


Comment 8 John Thacker 2006-10-30 14:32:43 UTC
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
