Description zhifeng 2013-03-23 04:22:19 UTC

Akeregator should has it's own proxy setting like kmail
many rss feeds was block by chinese Great Fire Wall. 
chinese people hard to fetch rss feed being blocked.
we need read rss feed, to know more about the world.

would you please let Akeregator had it's own proxy setting ? that we can using a proxy with Akeregator to read the world.

please do not say system has global proxy option. that's not good. we only using proxy when we need to using browser and read rss.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. you must in china
2. open a feed blocked by GFW
3. you can not access the blocked rss feed
Actual Results:  
we are blocked by the GFW

Expected Results:  
want more easy way to read the rss

additional proxy setting may take more works to do ,but it's very useful and helpful to us who was blocked by the GFW.

we need your help. developers who can help us out, we need a tool to read rss, know more about the world.

Did you enable the proxy in systemsettings / Network Settings already ?

(or ALT-F2 then enter: kcmshell4 proxy)

I know there is a way to enable proxy with system setting . but it will affect all the programs.

Just add the support of QNetworkProxy please? 

feedburner is inevitably blocked in lots of countries.

Or should I submit a patch?
