Proxy settings in kopete

Hi Friends,

My OS is fedora 7. i got installed kopete in to my gnome session.Now i needed to configure it for proxy access. But when going through the settings there is no place to put proxy address.
From our default proxy server, i can use MSN in windows for chat , and it's seems there is no any issues in the proxy server.

Can some body help me to put the proxy settings into kopete ?

Thank you.

I guess kopete use global proxy settings which you can set in kde control center (kcontrol). Not sure about it though..

kopete is supposed to respect global proxy settings for kde and it should work even if you open kopete from gnome-session (I have not checked though). Here is a shot in the dark... why not open konqueror once before trying kopete?

OK foxrever.. there is an issue there. People have discussed it elsewhere and let me summarize:

1. kopete can respect proxy settings inside kde session, but not in gnome (says one of ubuntu threads http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-459687.html)

2. proxy settings will be handled by kopete in future release (kde 4.x), says kopete-devel forums (http://www.mail-archive.com/kopete-devel…g/msg09503.html)

Thanks to your questions, I did some googling ;)

In KDE session also , it's not success. Can not connect via the proxy .I think in this forum , there would be more fedora 7 users and they have configured kopete properly. please help me somebody .
Isn't there any step step by user guide for configure kopete for fedora ?

Thank you.

Please fix this

I'm a fedora users too, and I think that it's crazy that a great software like kopete can't inherit the proxy settings from kcontrol, using Dante + Tor is a option, but this is crazy too, like using a katana to cut a banana :-).
Form my point of view this this is an important bug to fix, kopete can connect thorught different protocol till you don't have a proxy in your lan.

Thanks for your work
Cheers

Hi,

I recently changed my blog's URL permalink structure, so the new URL to that post would be: http://nareshov.kuro-katana.net/blog/200…work-on-kde-3x/

Kopete is taking proxy info from KControl but only works with SOCKS - no HTTP proxy support yet. My scenario was: I didn't have a SOCKS proxy server to use but only a HTTP one - to which Dante+Tor came to the rescue.

Right now, in KDE4, HTTP proxy is broken in all KDE4 apps: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155707 =(
