Bug Description

chooses says "gnome-network" is a package, launchpad says not

1) direct gnome-network-proxy at a privoxy proxy, ie HTTP: localhost:8118

2) add ::/0 to ignore list

3)direct firefox through system settings

4)type in 2001:4860:0:2001::68 (google)

result)502 error from privoxy (privoxy has no ipv6 support although aparentally red hat has patched it)

expected)gnome would skip the proxy and go straight to the address

was better the first time but launchpad ate my bug report

thats completely unrelated at this point. did you even try out the test case? If it really is only that firefox uses gconf values only and gnome doesn't do any routing then i will report it to mozilla bugzilla, although it still is somewhat a problem, somthing that might be fixed by libproxy.
