Description David Bishop 2002-12-10 20:59:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

Previously, I was able to use the environment variables I have setup for konqueror and other web apps.  I use the form http_proxy=http://username:password@ext.proxy.com:8080/, and while not terribly secure, it works.  However, with 3.1, it no longer parses that correctly, resulting in a "protocol died unexpectedly" error.  As I can't/won't change the environment variables (other apps depend on them), I have to use the manual config, and enter the user/pass manually.  Please fix, thanks :-)

Btw, many thanks for the great work you guys are doing!  I am the envy of all my collegues, running 3.1 B-)

Hi David, 
 
Fixed.  We (actually I) overlooked the proxy authentication when I fixed the 
WWW-Authentication for the same issue :(  It has been applied to the upcoming KDE 
3_1_BRANCH and will be applied to the HEAD branch in few days. 
 
Thanks for the report. 
 
Regards, 
Dawit A.
