Harmattan Proxy settings
 

Am I blind, stupid or just confused?

I have looked all over the place online and through the settings dialogs, and I don't see where you can set up a proxy for the N9.

I tried setting it with gconftool and gconftool-2, but it still wasn't using the proxy settings for the browser.

Basically I want to set up a script that will be launched by ProfileMatic when I connect to the WiFi at work, so that I can still log onto the facebook program. I don't really use facebook, but I use it for testing purposes.

Any clue on how to do this? Any help would be most appreciative.

go to internet settings, and set it there, for example choose/edit wifi network that you want and add proxies manually in there.

Yeah, and what to do if it is proxy authenticated? Where to inform user and passwd???

What he said!

Yeah, I was blind, for whatever reason I saw "advanced settings disconnect and my brain thought it was the same for some reason. Cursed lack of sleep!

try setting the username And it may ask for the pass. It try an encrypted method e.g tls.

I know how to enable a proxy in settings, but how do you enable it from terminal? I thought this would do the trick
but it seems to do nothing, neither as user nor as root...

Re: Harmattan Proxy settings
 

It does.

But only for that terminal.
And what a bout http_user and http_pass?
or htttp_proxy=user:pass@server.com:port
What do you try to establish?

--edit
Nice one ;)
http_proxy = user : pass @ server.com : port

Basically I want to make a desktop file that'll run a script that first enables http/https (or better yet, socks) proxy and then opens an ssh tunnel to the server.

Edit: What I'd really like to know is how to enable through terminal the same global proxy settings (not just that terminal) that you can get going to settings and editing the network connection in there.

Re: Harmattan Proxy settings
 

Problem with Harmattan (also Fremantle) is there is no real 'global' proxy settings. The one from settings mainly (only?) affeccts browser but not any terminal proggie.

Not sure atm where it is stored, I would peek with
gconftool -R / | grep -i proxy

Re: Harmattan Proxy settings
 

Thanks, that shows the server and port are set, so I tried this:
But checking the browser it seems nothing has changed...
