130766 - Talkback agent does not appear to support password proxy servers

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36545

(Core Graveyard :: Talkback Client, defect)

Description

[Jason Pell]

Hi,

The Mozilla itself supports password proxy/socks servers, but the 
Talkback agent does not appear to.

This does not make a lot of sense and prevents me from submitting
crash data.

Thanks
Jason

a) Please read the release notes before you write a bug.
(http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.9/#qfa)
b) open talkback (in mozilla/components/talkback.exe, select 
Settings/options/proxy

-> worksforme

Hi,

I did configure the proxy server, but it still complained about not
being able send.

I am of the opinion that it does not support password based proxy
config.

If someone can suggest a way to work out whether it is not
supporting 'PASSWORD' Authenticated proxy servers, I would really
appreciate it, and would gladly close this bug report.

Cheers
Jason

Talkback do work with transparent proxy by doing
what Matti suggests.

However, it fails with authentication proxies.
See bug #36545.
