Summary: Add support for handling http proxy set in env
Classification: Moblin Projects
Product: SyncEvolution
Version: upstream
Platform: Generic
OS/Version: Moblin Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Undecided
Component: *Feature Request
AssignedTo: rajyalakshmi.bommaraju(a)intel.com
ReportedBy: rajyalakshmi.bommaraju(a)intel.com

http_proxy env variable is handled transparently by the transport
library - except that only libcurl honors it whereas libsoup ignores it
in. I'm not sure what the rationale for that is.
If available, then we use libsoup-gnome, which gets proxy settings
automatically from the central GNOME settings. This is how it works in
Moblin.
It certainly would be nice to have support for http_proxy as in many
other apps. Should we add support for it on top of libsoup/libcurl? In
SyncConfig::getUseProxy(), return TRUE if http_proxy is set and
non-empty, FALSE if it is set and empty, otherwise return the configured
value. In SyncConfig::getProxyHost(), return the value of http_proxy if
set, otherwise the configured value.
