ggl-gtk behind proxy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

GoogleGadgets can't connect to internet if I'm behind a proxy server. For 
example, GMail gadget outputs „oops.. network/server error“ everytime I try 
to log in to my google account. Weather globe does not even have a list of 
cities/countries. The list of available gadgets contains only a clock-gadget 
(which is installed by default). After installing gadgets manually (the *.gg 
files from) one by one they appear in the „Add gadgets“ list. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ubuntu Lucid LTS. ggl-gtk v.0.11.2  API version 5.8.0.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried changing global proxy settings, exporting enviroment-variables 
http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy and then launching ggl-gtk, adding „export 
http(s)_proxy=<...>“ lines to .bashrc file and restarting system but nothing 
seems to help. 
ggl-gtk works like a charm when I'm not behind proxy.

P.S. The proxy I'm behind doesn't require authentication.

Please first check which underlying http library (libcurl or libsoup) your ggl 
build is using and see why the library doesn't work for proxy.
