Bug Description

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee 1.5.6-1 fails to connect to the internet when a proxy is required for connection, despite the proxy being set in Gnome. No proxy configuration dialog is offered to the user, either.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 fully updated as of post timestamp.

Still actual for me.
Banshee 1.8.1, Ubuntu 10.10.
Workaround is to unset http_proxy and run banshee from the terminal.

<New banshee user, not a banshee developer>. That's interesting. Because "Online Media->Internet Archive" _seems_ to be going through my personal HTTP proxy.

Is this still an issue? Does it apply to "Online Media->Internet Archive"? If not, would someone like to point out one of the features which doesn't go through the proxy as it should?

Nevermind. I was confused by a bug in the Ubuntu Music extension, which _does_ respect proxy settings. I don't think the Internet Archive code supports proxy settings.
