Package: bitlbee
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: normal


For a long time I've used a proxy with  bitlbee, set via the following
entry in /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf:

   [settings]
   Proxy = http://localhost:8080

However starting with version 1.2-1, this setting seems to be ignored --
when bitlbee attempts to connect with various AIM and jabber servers,
nothing works, and using "netstat --inet -p" shows that clearly it's
attempting to connect directly to the servers rather than using my
specified proxy (and that doesn't work, as I'm behind a firewall).

I tried changing "localhost" to "localhost.", as it seems that some
interfaces have problems resolving the former (e.g., the "host"
command).  However, the result is the same (bitlbee apparently ignores
the proxy setting).

Thanks,

-Miles
