            Bug ID: 385292
           Summary: akregator does not use system proxy settings
           Product: akregator
           Version: GIT (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: internal browser
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk
  Target Milestone: ---

The system proxy settings are set to "Manually specified proxy configuration",
using a Privoxy proxy on another host for HTTP and HTTPS, with no proxy for
other protocols.

Konqueror (with Webkit) honours the proxy settings and appropriate
passes/blocks are seen in Privoxy's log.  The same applies to Akregator's feed
fetching, the RSS entries are seen in the log.  However, no fetches for the
article preview, or articles opened in tabs, are seen in the log.  Watching the
network shows that no traffic is seen to/from the proxy host.

Possibly the same problem as bug #129895, although that was closed WORKSFORME a
decade ago for an ancient Akregator version.  Feel free to duplicate and reopen
that if appropriate.
