www/chromium ignores proxy settings

Hi all

I have installed chromium from ports:

> # pkg_info | grep chrom
chromium-6.0.472.63 A mostly BSD-licensed web browser based on WebKit and Gtk+

and I have proxy settings configured in my environment, up to my eyeballs:

> $ env | grep -i oxy
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8
http_proxy=http://proxy:3128/
ftp_proxy=http://proxy:3128/
FTP_PROXY=ftp://proxy:3128/
all_proxy=socks://proxy:3128/
ALL_PROXY=socks://proxy:3128/
HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:foo at bar.com:redacted
HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy:3128/
https_proxy=https://proxy:3128/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8
HTTP_PROXY=proxy:3128


and I have added identical settings in the Tools -> Options -> Change
proxy settings in chrome itself, including proxy auth credentials.

However, if I try to browse to a webpage, eg www.google.com, chromium
ignores all these settings and attempts to connect directly, which I
can observe using sockstat:

> $ sockstat -4 | grep chrome
tom      chrome     14280 60 tcp4   10.0.11.202:62295     173.194.37.104:80
tom      chrome     14280 61 tcp4   10.0.11.202:62795     173.194.37.104:80
> $ host www.google.com
www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com has address 173.194.37.104


This of course times out.


Any hints or pointers etc

Cheers

Tom
