rekonq can't access to internet.

i foundwhere is the pb :

we must use in proxy settings localhost.localdomain instead of localhost
then
it works

i assume  some alias localhost localhost.domain misses in network config
Comment 2 philippe.roubach 2012-10-05 17:11:46 MSK 
where to put the alias
and
what is the syntax ?

Normally in /etc/hosts you should have:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
Comment 4 philippe.roubach 2012-10-05 17:20:50 MSK 
i have this

# generated by drakconnect
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Comment 5 Denis Silakov 2012-10-05 17:25:36 MSK 
Hm, then there should be some other place which affects rekonq, should dig deeper...
Comment 6 philippe.roubach 2012-10-06 12:44:31 MSK 
an idea

use drakproxy
then
search the diff in /etc/

?

but how ?
Comment 7 Denis Silakov 2012-10-09 12:25:40 MSK 
Can't find anything directly related to this issue in drakproxy code.

Btw, what do you have in /etc/hostname ?

And does the problem affect only rekonq or all the programs? E.g., does urpmi use the proxy you have set?
Comment 8 philippe.roubach 2012-10-09 12:41:32 MSK 
this pb affects all the internet explorers.

i assume all app using proxy ?

Different applications use different proxy configurations. Some of them use global variables (like 'http_proxy', 'ftp_proxy', etc.), KDE apps use KDE proxy settings, some programs have their own config files. It's hard to set/update all possible variants by a single tool...
Comment 10 philippe.roubach 2012-10-09 12:56:26 MSK 
to summ up :

- with drakproxy, proxy settings is good
- with kde proxy settings, proxy setting is not good

i am not a techie to go further
then
i advise to keep drakproxy until kde proxy settings is fixed

an idea : a dev can explore the source of drakproxy according to know what drakproxy does.
