           Summary: Change in proxy settings breaks Chromium's settings
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_proxy
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: fire@projectstarfire.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Since KDE 4.8 Chromium doesn't recognize the proxy settings anymore. An earlier
bug was filed, describing the problem, but was closed as invalid:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288002

The bug is caused by a change of KDE's behavior as shown in the corresponding
Chromium bug. The KDE proxy settings format changed, omitting a ":" in
kioslaverc (comment #6):

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=106052

Is this change intentional? It is a change which is very counter-intuitive to
the usual usage of e.g. the http_proxy environment variable. I suggest the best
fix for this problem would be to revert to the old behavior, unless there are
significant technical reasons for the new one, of course.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Change the proxy settings to a manual setting.

Actual Results:  
Unable to use the proxy.

Expected Results:  
Surfing the web via proxy.
