            Bug ID: 331505
           Summary: Telepathy is using http_proxy variable with no way of
                    disabling it
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: telepathy
           Version: 0.6.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org

I have a local squid proxy I use for caching purposes, and for ease of use, I
set up an http_proxy and https_proxy variables, and set them global in
/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh
Today, I tried logging into my jabber account, and it failed.. upon inspection,
I noticed it's trying to connect through the proxy, which is denying (CONNECT
to non-ssl port is not allowed by default).
KDE is setup NOT use any proxy, and its applications respect that (such as
rekonq).
The jabber account has no proxy settings.
Yet, telepathy is honouring this environment variable, and I see no way of
overriding this behaviour..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup a global http_proxy (and/or https_proxy) variable
2. reboot and try to connect a jabber account
Actual Results:  
It attempts connecting through the proxy

Expected Results:  
to ignore it and use KDE's proxy settings, or at least allow me to override.
