From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-PF20010316 i686) Finally up2date works with proxies !!! But to enter it, please give a hint about the format. There are many ways around on the Internet to indicate it ("http://proxy.domain.org:1080" or "proxy.domain.org:1080" or or "proxy.domain.org 1080" or two fields or only 1 and not port definable, etc.) Furthermore, if you enter "http://proxy.domain.org:1080" up2date will crash saying the port number is non-numeric (of course the 1st colon is aftert http and the remaining is not very numeric) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a proxy with the http:// prefix 2. 3. Actual Results: crash. Expected Results: Nothing, storing the proxy info with the correct port number. Fixes: - add a label in the GUI-form of up2date-config to hint the user what format to use - fill the proxy enter field with the prefix "http://" so the user can complete it - tolerate the http:// prefix in the search of the port number in the python code. Even better, all of the above :-)
We have added a hint label to the version of up2date currently in testing. Will enter a feature request to ignore "http:" if it is there.
the latest internal versions of our up2date, and the one to be released today as errata, contain a hint as to the format of the proxy. (hostname:port).
