In 2.5.8 and released 2.6.0 Beta 2 versions Spark is only able to connect via proxy with SOCKS anonymous connection. HTTP (both authenticated and anonymous) as well as SOCKS authenticated doesnt work.
In the latest SVN (11071) Spark is not obeying proxy settings at all. One can enter any not existing proxy host and Spark will eventually connect to jabber server directly. There is no way to test if 2.5.8 issues are still present because of this new issue.
Have applied the patch, but it seems that Spark is just connecting directly ignoring proxy settings no matter the patch. Needs more live testing and reports from users. If it do no difference, it could be removed until the proper patch is provided.
Can you attach your patch to this thread http://community.igniterealtime.org/message/193131 ? as a diff file. Because copying from a comment may include some weird hidden chars. Then i will attach it here. To be able to attach file in forums use Advanced editor.
