           Summary: WebKitGTK fails to connect via HTTP if only SOCKS
                    proxy is specified, but connects to HTTPS
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
               URL: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695029
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: wk at genodeftest.de


Using current Epiphany 3.6.1, Eclipse 4.2.1, webkitgtk 1.10.2-2, etc. from Fedora 18

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a proxy in gnome-control-center only for SOCKS (e.g. tor without
privoxy/polipo/…)
2. Do not enable the other proxies (no hostname, port is set to 0)
3. start epiphany, try to access some sites

What is expected:
A) All traffic should be routed through TOR via SOCKS (if Epiphany supports
SOCKS which it does, at least partly)
B) (if Epiphany did not support SOCKS proxies) ignore proxy settings at all

What actually happens:
HTTPS connections work fine.
HTTP connections can not be established.

Epiphany can for example connect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ,
but not to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Same behavior for the internal browsers from liferea and eclipse
