Description of problem: clock-applet doesn't use proxy in F14 (worked fine in F13) for getting temperature/weather information Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: - Set Network Proxy in System --> Preferences --> Network Proxy - Block port 80 outgoing traffic and check the firewall log Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tag 'Show weather' and/or 'Show temperature' in the clock-applet preferences 2. Set network proxy 3. Watch how it ignores the proxy Actual results: From machine 'netstat -pan': tcp 0 1 192.168.1.58:59737 82.94.229.25:80 SYN_SENT 2610/clock-applet (82.94.229.25 is weather.noaa.gov) From firewall log on router: Nov 14 16:30:11 router kernel: [337792.268392] IPTABLES RULE 21 -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.1.58 DST=82.94.229.25 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=20681 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=59737 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Expected results: clock-applet uses proxy (this is an entry from the Squid log from before the upgrade of the machine): 1289595761.941 314 192.168.1.58 TCP_MISS/200 7064 GET http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php? - DIRECT/82.94.229.25 text/html Additional info:
A rotten workaround I'm using is, to cd /usr/libexec mv clock-applet clock-applet.real Create a script named clock-applet in this directory containing. #!/bin/bash export http_proxy=http://wwwproxy:3128 /usr/libexec/clock-applet.real Where wwwproxy is my proxy server. Then chmod 755 clock-applet Nice if it was fixed.
Seeing this too. Looks like the problem is with package libgweather. HTTP is handled by libsoup. That has hooks for proxy lookup etc. but they appear not to be used/implemented in libgweather. Also found other bugs that may be duplicates: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636962 (Weather Report applet ignores autoconfigured network proxy) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660247 (gnome weather doesn't work with proxy) Not a big problem, but a security vs. functionality issue for me. --DaveG.
Fixed for me (privoxy on host a.b.c.d:8118, network proxy: Automatic, no URL, WPAD handling in DHCP and DNS, pac file via httpd)... $ sudo yum list 'libproxy*' $ sudo yum install libproxy-gnome libproxy-mozjs libproxy-bin $ export _MM_DEBUG=DEBUG $ export _PX_DEBUG=DEBUG $ proxy http://some.extenal.net ... Config is: wpad:// Trying to find the PAC using WPAD... WPAD search via: 24dns_alias_wpad_extension PAC found! Using pacrunner: 25mozjs_pacrunner_extension Pacrunner returned: PROXY a.b.c.d:8118 http://a.b.c.d:8118 $ No more firewall holes! Documentation issue? META package containing all extension modules? --DaveG.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
