Bug - Proxy error

Submitted by ngreis on 2009-10-15

My webissues server is running ok, from my house i have no problem running the client, when i reach work i have a proxy server at the company i work for.
Its running a http proxy server, for witch i have a login/password for it.
The problem is that i have placed the login/passord in the client anda i keep getting connection failed.

login/password are correct the port also ok, i cheked against the browser config.

Is the proxy option not working ok, or am i doing something wrong?

I tested the proxy option and it worked. I never tried to use a proxy which requires authentication, but according to Qt documentation is should also work. I will test this if I can find a publicly available proxy with authentication.

You are right, proxy with authentication doesn't currently work.

I tested it with Fiddler and it appears to be a bug in Qt. When proxy is set using QHttp::setProxy authentication works fine, but when it's configured using QNetworkProxy::setApplicationProxy it doesn't work.

I reported this bug to Qt developers, and in the meantime I'll add a workaround so version 0.9.6 will correctly support proxy authentication.
