[Qgis-developer] Re: Release plans for 1.7.1

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Andrea,

 strange - I work behind a proxy at our local government and never had a 
 proxy problem for the past 1.5 years or so. Definitely QGIS 1.6, 1.7 and 
 current trunk are fine regarding the proxy.

 Note that you have to specify the proxy in the QGIS global options --> 
 Network tab, usually as HttpProxy. QGIS doesn't read the system proxy.

 Could you more specifically explain what proxy problems you have? Or 
 maybe there is a specific problem of your own proxy implementation? Is 
 it more pedantic than other proxies?

 Andreas
