[Evolution] Bug#737640: evolution-rss: Ignores Evolution proxy settings

[Lars Luthman]

Package: evolution-rss
Version: 0.3.91-2
Severity: normal

Evolution-RSS ignores the proxy settings in Evolution. I tested this by setting
the SOCKS proxy to 127.0.0.1:9050 (I have Tor installed) and the HTTP and HTTPS
proxies to 127.0.0.1:8123 (I have Polipo installed and forwarding to Tor). I
then turned off Tor (service tor stop) and clicked the Send/Receive button,
which checks all mail accounts and feeds. The connection to the mail server was
rejected, as expected, but the feeds were updated normally, and when checking
with netstat I saw that evolution was connecting to the feed servers directly,
bypassing the proxys.

I would have expected the feeds to fail as well, since the proxy they were
supposed to use had been disabled.
