Title: Opera 7 proxy problem
Post by: Anonymous on February 18, 2004, 09:29:26 am

Hi,
have a Cacko ROM with Opera7.11 (zaurus 860) and from some reason opera refuses to work with the proxy set in the network settings. I tried to edit opera.ini to include the proxy there but it is overwritten each time i restart opera by httpproxy=0. NetFront is working OK.
Any clues?

BTW. You can get opera 7 ipk here:

- use manual install

I use the cacko rom too, and am having proxy problems.

I use a SSH tunnel to connect to a proxy server that runs squid. Net front is ok with this, and can use it to do DNS lookups fine (for resolving web pages) but Opera doesnt like it and keeps giving cannot find host errors.

I\'m not sure what it doesnt like, but it could be either DNS or it not using the proxy settings (localhost:3128) properly.

On my C860 (tkcROM 2.5.1) I was able to get Opera 7.30 to use the proxy settings defined in the Network setup by editing the appropriate file in /home/zaurus/Applications/Network/modules/

For each network configuration file (WLAN?.conf in my case) there is a line towards the bottom in the [Proxy] section that reads \"type = 1\".  By changing this to \"type = 2\" and restarting the network using the GUI I was able to get both Opera and Netfront to obey my proxy settings.  I have no idea what other effects this change has or even why it is necessary, but it works for me.

Cheers,

This also seems to have an effect on Gaim, but that could be because gaim and proxy settings are mysterious and undocumented things as far as I can see

True. I noticed this, too.  However, with gaim 0.4 you can turn the proxy settings off on a per-acount basis by setting the Proxy Type (in the Proxy tab for the acount editor) to \"No Proxy\".  Of couse, this setting doesn\'t seem to be \"sticky,\" so you have to set it time you edit the account.
