Description Guilherme 2011-05-25 15:09:20 UTC
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Enterprises_nice-to-have#Proxy_authentication

Proxy authentication 

On a enterprise where access to the internet is done by a proxy with authentication, you cannot copy a web page and paste into a LibreOffice document without loosing your linked graphics or objects. This is because the graphics are pasted as linked images and since LibreOffice does not have a proxy authentication dialog, the proxy will not let the graphic to be read. 

The same issue raises if you plan to have your stock market prices inserted into a spreadsheet, behind an authenticated proxy. It will not work. 

The issuezilla number is 59287.

Couldn’t find the issuezilla mentioned on the wiki, and created a new one.

Could reproduce the bug on LO 3.3.1 on Windows XP.

Funny that I created a duplicate:
When doing web page content copy (comprising images) and paste in Writer, LO started asking for user name and password in Authentication required window.
Any page with images, example web page: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-mint-the-right-way-to-react-to-a-security-breach/
I guess this happens only if default route from the network is via proxy.
In my case, proxy wasn't enforced, direct connection was open. But LO likely uses system default route.

Dear Guilherme,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
