[Bug 274360] [NEW] Browser and system proxy settings are ignored
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin
Package: icedtea-gcjwebplugin 1.0-0ubuntu5
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
My desktop PC is behind a non-transparent web proxy and I have this
configured in my browser and system preferences.
When attempting to load an applet (e.g. from
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) the browser status
changes to "starting applet..." but I see only a grey box. The log shows
"netx: Initialization Error: Could not initialize applet.
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819)"
To work around this I set up Squid as a transparent proxy and configured
iptables to redirect web traffic to it. When this is enabled the applet
loads successfully.
I would expect the plugin to use the system or browser proxy settings
for downloading class files. Instead it assumes a direct connection to
the web.
