           Summary: WebKit GTK with libsoup won't recognize proxies
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: coolwanglu at gmail.com


Environment:
    Debian 2.6.18 amd64
    latest libsoup & libproxy till now
    WebKit 1.1.5 (should also affect latest nightly build)

My computer connect with Internet through a HTTP proxy, which is set in the
'http_proxy' environment variable. 

I've been working on WebKit for months, at first, while I was using 1.0.1,
(with curl as its backend), everything's all right. But recently I updated it
to 1.1.5, and found that GtkLauncher could not load http://www.google.com.

It took me some time to realize that the network backend has been changed to
libsoup. And I did test my libsoup, which worked well.

It took me another some time to compare
WebCore/platform/network/soup/ResourceHandlSoup.cpp and test.c in libsoup
tests. And at last my conclusion is maybe the proxy-resolver feature is not
enabled. So I made a dirty patch:

1.in configure, add dependency rule of libsoup-gnome-2.4 (I failed in editing
configure.ac and re-automake, for some unknown reason)

2.in WebCore/platform/network/soup/ResourceHandleSoup.cpp
    1) at the beginning, add
#include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>

    2) at arount line 444, replace the body of function 'static SoupSession*
createSoupSession()' with the following code

    return
soup_session_async_new_with_options(SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE,
SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26, NULL);

I don't know whether it'll affect other parts of webkitgtk, but at least it
works for me

so please check this, thx
