turpial don't have http proxy support but you can use turpial over proxy using proxy configuration on terminal with enviroment variables, for example: # export http_proxy='http://user:password@www-proxy.us.oracle.com:8080' # turpial but perhaps also work if the proxy is configured from the preferences of gnome Please let me know if it is all right to proceed to close the ticket
Gnome proxy settings are ignored. Also, when I try to set a proxy directly in the Turpial settings it silently fails when I hit save: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/turpial/ui/gtk/preferences.py", line 102, in __save 'Startup': startup, UnboundLocalError: local variable 'startup' referenced before assignment
The proxy configuration in turpial named: "Twitter API proxy" is a feature to be used in countries like China, where Twitter and other services are blocked by firewalls. That option only changes the base URL for Twitter requests, it doesn't handle a real proxy. Turpial 1.6.9 should recognize the Gnome proxy settings but if you use another desktop environment or want to configure yourself use proxy enviroment variable. Turpial 2.0 will brings with native proxy support, so this problem will be solved soon.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
