[Gnash-commit] [bug #26713] mozilla-gnash-plugin circumvents firefox proxy-settings

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #26713 (project gnash):

> Workaround is manually setting http_proxy with credentials and also
disabling browser proxy config so that http_proxy var won't be reset w/o
credentials. Though that breaks more complex proxy configurations via .pac
where proxy may vary or be absent depending on the destination.

Actually, that's not a possible workaround, because in an environment with
authenticated proxy you need to configure the browser to use the proxy. As far
as I know, at least firefox doesn't use the http_proxy variable.

Gnash should check for the http_proxy environment variable before setting it
himself, otherwhise this workaround is impossible.
