[arch-general] Chromium browser does not follow the proxy settings
Hi, I am using chromium with KDE, and whenever I open Chromium proxy settings, I get KDE proxy settings. I have already enabled my KDE proxy settings, so the proxy should work right? But it doesn't. I can browse using the proxy through rekonq browser. So, the settings are apparently working fine. It is the chromium browser that is causing the problem. Any solutions? -- Cheers and Regards Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Oh, thanks. Reading into the man pages of Chromium (did not know they had one!). It seems there are a host of options, --proxy-server is another for example. Shouldn't it be atleast on the wiki? That the proxy settings do not work well? So, I added the information in the trouble shooting section of the wiki on chromium. This is my first time contribution to any wiki, so I would be glad if someone could just check if it is okay. -- Cheers and Regards Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

There was an issue with some earlier chrome versions and changes made in kde. This may or may not be your issue. Please check the file: ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc And make sure that the proxy port only has a colon between the host and the port num. At some point kde made them spaces and chrome broke. Kde could have broke too I don't know :-) SAldo, it seems kde provides a file but no API to read the file - kind of a poor design. Anyway hand edit the file so it looks more like httpProxy=http://proxy.foo.com:3128 etc. gene/

Well you are correct, there is indeed a space. But KDE apps are not broken.

I did that, makes no difference. Actually, I have a SOCKS5 proxy, so my line instead changes to socksProxy=SOCKS5://localhost:7546 If i do that, then chrome connections fails because it cannot connect to the proxy properly. Anything else is ignored by chrome and it switched to direct connection (which is dangerous, there should at least be a warning that the proxy is not being used.) Anyway, the proxy url is the same url which I use when I use the -- proxy-server option and again, even after edit, the KDE application are working fine and process the proxy correctly and use it. -- Cheers and Regards Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
The --proxy-server option is working perfectly fine for now. -- Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
