Version: 1.2 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux After upgrading to KDE 3.5 akregator no longer fetch any feeds outside our corporate proxy. Other readers are able to fetch feeds as well as konqueror can fetch both feeds and other Web-pages.
I just tested following proxy setup: I use "manually specify proxy settings" with localhost:4715 as proxy, and a list of domains which should be routed over that proxy. 4715 is forwarded via ssh to the www proxy at my university. I added slashdot.org to the domain list before trying to fetch the slashdot feed. a) When the ssh tunnel is down, fetching in Akregator fails as expected. b) When the tunnel is up, it works. So Akregator seems to respect the proxy settings you can specify in KControl/Konqueror. I use current SVN (~3.5.1) and Eike reported a) for 3.5.0. Can you test the localhost:4715 scenario (testing a), without having a ssh tunnel)? So we know whether your proxy settings are ignored completely, or if the Akregator<->Proxy communication fails for some reason.
OK, I'm also using manually specified proxy settings. In my case all traffic is routed via the proxy with the exception of local domains. The only feed that can be fetched is a local feed. When I use KNewsTicker all feeds can be fetched so there is no blocking done in the proxy. Regards, On Sunday 22 January 2006 21:38, Frank Osterfeld wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]

I experienced that problem and found that our firewall system blocks http requests with an user agent containing the words "gator" (which they say is a well known spyware). Akregator-1.2.2 queries the servers using the user agent string "Akregator/1.2.2; librss-remnants" which is not configurable. Bad idea.. Workaround: use khexedit to locate the string "Akregator/" and patch it as "Akregatar/". Then everything works as it should.
I have another strange effect with tunneled Rss feeds. I subscribed a https feed which was tunneled through a firewall. It was tunneled lake that: ssh -L 6666:TARGET_HOST:443 TO_BE_TUNNELED_HOST I can read the feed and get new messages on updates, but if I enable the option to display the website directly, it fails with the message: https://localhost:6666:6666/PATH_TO_RSS_FEED For some strange reason the port number was doubled in the URL akregator wants to open. This is definitely a bug. I don't know if I should open a new bug for this.
Hello: This is an old bug and it works for me on akregator 4.3.1. Could anyone confirm as well so this bug can be closed? Thanks.
