Indeed, managing to play it is the first step.

The problem would be more obvious with verbosity=2 or -vvv.

It appear libproxy thinks you have a (http) proxy at localhost:21790.

So you need to check your kde/gnome settings, env variable, .pac, ...

---------------------------

You are right. I set up an http proxy for konqueror (I forgot that 21790 was the port)....I assumed that 
it was just a konqueror thing and not that it extended to the whole system. 
Damn...sorry everything works now.
Thanks
