HTTPS RSS feeds don't work when HTTP proxy is enabled. I get the red x icon. When I disable the proxy and restart, the feeds work. I noticed that HTTP feeds are working either way.

If the proxy does not support HTPS ... It won't work.

HTTP will work with, or without HTTPS being supported.

Also. .... For things like this , .... Please use the qbittorrent support forum

But the same setup is working in utorrent 2.2.1 (with "Disable connections unsupported by the proxy" unticked) so I was wondering if it can be similarly configured in qbittorrent. Btw. your link is giving me the 404.

Fixed.

uTorrent has ALL sorts of bad behaviours.

It's working in Deluge too. And I think it worked in earlier version of qBittorrent. I'll try to find an earlier version and see if it worked there.

qBittorrent download the feeds through the configured proxy. The other clients you tested are either not using the proxy to download the feeds or are using the HTTP CONNECT method.

Unfortunately Qt does not allow to use that method: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-39715

A possible solution would be not using the proxy to download the feeds, but in my opinion this has to be optional.

Thanks for quick responses guys.

@pmzqla, so, there is not much to do but wait for this HTTP CONNECT implementation by Qt. Thanks for the information. =)

We could add a checkbox in the proxy configuration that would read "Don't use for RSS feeds". (and another one for search).

@pmzqla The first comment in that bug report says the Qt supports HTTP CONNECT. And sure enough in the docs for QNetworkProxy::ProxyType it says this for HTTP:

Implemented using the "CONNECT" command, supports only outgoing TCP connections; supports authentication.

So maybe @dominoto's proxy may not support HTTP CONNECT (or HTTPS specifically)?

Uh, I wonder how I ended up on that bug report rather than Qt's documentation.
It's obvious that I haven't read the comments. In any case, a simple checkbox would provide a way to get the feeds when proxies do not allow tunneling.

@sledgehammer999 that would be really cool if it isn't a problem, thanks! :D

@sledgehammer999, don't want to be pushy, just wondering is there any progress on this?
