http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26330

           Summary: Network proxy support for Telepathy Haze conversation
                    plugin in maemo5
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: haze
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bigbrovar at gmail.com


OS/Platform: Maemo5 Freemantle
SOFTWARE VERSION: 2.2009.51-1.002


EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:  
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message
Connection Failed appears))
1. Connect to a wireless network which requires proxy to connect to the
internet
2. add the proxy configuration details to the wireless profile
3. Install the Pidgin Protocols Plugin For Conversations And Contact on the
N900 and try to connect to supported IM protocols 

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Pidgin Protocols Plugin For Conversations And Contact
retrives my proxy settings from my wireless profile and uses it to connect or
the plugin settings has a gui config which allows me to add my proxy settings.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: I am unable to connect to any IM protocol because of the lack
of proxy support. 

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

OTHER COMMENTS: Currently there is no way to get this Pidgin Protocols Plugin
For Conversations And Contact on the N900 to work when behind a network proxy.
I am not a programmer so forgive my naivety on this, I just felt since this
plugin was based on telepathy haze which uses libpuple? same plugin as pidgin.
It would be easy to make it work with http proxy. It would be nice if a
configuration which would allow the user to input their proxy settings is built
into the settings UI of the plugin
