Description Ladislav Nesnera 2009-05-14 19:40:54 UTC

I dis/enable PROXY by YaST2 > Network Services > Proxy tool, but it hasn't influence to other application like wget

Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2009-05-18 09:49:40 UTC

we should get libproxy support in those tools.

Comment 2 Katarina Machalkova 2009-05-19 08:03:01 UTC

It maybe should, but it can't (as long as application gets proxy setup from environment variables - as wget does). See here detailed explanation why: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-01/msg00460.html

As for libproxy support, the best way would probably be to file a feature request (or bug(s) for the maintainers of CLI tools that get proxy from the env. variables)
