Description Cassiano Leal 2009-01-08 18:38:31 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have Amarok2 playing songs. I am behind a corporate proxy with authentication. At the beginning of every song, Amarok asks me to authenticate with the proxy as it is probably downloading song info/album art/lyrics/whatever from the web.

This is very annoying, though. I have already saved my proxy password in my kde-wallet, but I still have to press Ok at the beginning of every song.

I wish there were options in that dialogue, such as:

- Always allow the application to authenticate automatically
- Allow application to authenticate until it closes
- Allow automatic proxy authentication until session ends
- Always try to authenticate with the proxy automatically.

This way, I would only need to enter my wallet password once and the proxy would then be out of my way from there on.

Is it works in for you KDE SC 4.4? Because some time ago this bug disappeared for me and now KDE remembers my proxy password and asks it only once at the beginning of the KDE session.

Is it works for you in KDE SC 4.4? Because some time ago this bug disappeared for me and now KDE remembers my proxy password and asks it only once at the beginning of the KDE session. 
I'm using KDE SC 4.4.2 now.
