           Summary: wish: have proxyscout to intercept network calls from
                    non-KDE apps
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: cassianoleal at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.96)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'm not sure that this is even possible, but here's the situation:

My company has an auto-configurable proxy that runs squid and requires
authentication. All is well with KDE native apps, as they inherit KDE's proxy
configuration.

The problem is that I am stuck with Evolution for mail as the company has an
Exchange server, and Evolution 2.24's proxy support is very weak and fails
every time (and doesn't support proxy autoconf unless I provide a URL, which I
don't have).

My wish is to have Evolution (and other GNOME/GTK+/whatnot apps) to use KDE's
proxy settings, if possible at all.

Thanks for the great job in KDE 4.2. It has been my work desktop since right
before the first betas and it is serving me very well!
