There's a regression in Liferea 1.8.0 that causes it to ignore the proxy settings for requests made though the feed item viewer. The configured HTTP proxy is used to update the feeds, though. This has been fixed upstream in: http://liferea.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=liferea/liferea;a=patch;h=137604683770cae900d5835befefd95c65866cd7;hp=b509074806afbf5f0ee3f36db8e112c1ea20cdac The attached patch "backports" this fix. Fix: Apply the patch (with -p0). You may want to shorten the patch it creates in net/liferea/files to the src/ui/liferea_htmlview.c chunk. I kept it as-is so comparing with the source is easier. It was created with: git format-patch --no-prefix 137604683^..137604683 Patch attached with submission follows: How-To-Repeat: Configure a HTTP proxy in Liferea, read a feed item with embedded images and watch the network traffic. In environments where direct HTTP requests from common applications are redirected or blocked and DNS requests are made through Tor, the image requests will also take longer than usual and occasionally timeout.
