The list of new widgets fails to download when I am connected to the internet through Privoxy. As soon as I added download.kde.org and api.opendesktop.org to the list of exceptions in System Settings, the problem went away. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to the internet through Privoxy (with the default configuration and filters, simply forwarding everything directly) 2. Right-click on desktop, press "Add widgets" 3. Click "get new widgets" → "download new Plasma widgets" 4. Observe "Loading of providers from file: http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed" at the bottom of the window. Actual Results: The widget list isn't downloaded. Expected Results: The list should have been downloaded through the proxy.
Created attachment 98351 [details] My output from running systemsettings5 from the command-line I have experienced the same error on Arch Linux with Plasma 5.6.2.
