Since privoxy does only support http and https, I've only set http_proxy and https_proxy in /etc/sysconfig/proxy, in which case the global profilerc does not set the ftp_proxy variable. Enter libproxy: libproxy in this case falls back to "use http proxy" which according to them is the "expected behaviour", see http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=175 Their suggestion for my scenario is to set ftp_proxy and the rest to "" instead of not setting them at all... which would need a change to /etc/profile.d/profile.{c}sh because I also use SCPM and have one stored profile where I actually _DO_ use a ftp proxy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure http and https proxy through /etc/sysconfig/proxy but no ftp proxy 2. test proxy assignment with libproxy: enter "proxy ftp://ftp.gwdg.de" on a shell Actual Results: lemmy@sai:/etc/profile.d> proxy ftp://ftp.gwdg.de http://kotoko.eregion.home:8080 Expected Results: lemmy@sai:/etc/profile.d> export ftp_proxy="" lemmy@sai:/etc/profile.d> proxy ftp://ftp.gwdg.de direct:// -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
