Network Proxy function "use the same proxy for all protocols" does not work

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome

Steps to reproduce
 Requirement: having a mandatory proxy to access the
Internet. No other connection allowed.
 - In System->Preferences->Network Proxy
 - Select Manual and "use the same proxy for all
protocols"
 - Enter the proxy IP or host name and its port
 - Open Epiphany and try to access an address in HTTPS or
FTP e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/


Behaviour
 - Epiphany try to load and load and load, but nothing
happen and in the end we have a time out page.
Note: Firefox (which does not use the Gnome Network proxy
information but internal settings) is able to access at the
same time this address.

Expected behaviour
 - Epiphany should load the page

Analysis of the problem
 - Once "use the same proxy for all protocols" is
selected, we can only specify the HTTP proxy, but it should
apply to all protocols
 - It does not apply to all protocol as all HTTP URL do work
in Epiphany but HTTPS or FTP URL do not work
 - Last week, this functionality was working, actually since
I'm testing Feisty this functionality has been working...

May I suggest that we raise this bug importance to medium?
At least if confirmed.
I mean that for mobile enterprise users who have to
re-configure their proxy in each new places (e.g. the one at
work, potentially the one at the customer or hotel, none at
home) this is quite nice and an often used feature, and it
probably would be frustrating that it does not seem to
work.
But I would agree that for home desktop user, this is
probably never used.

(I also think it should be at least as important as this
kind of bug:
Bug #43572)

But, just take it as a suggestion not even a recommendation
or request

You are the only one who reported a bug and I don't have a
proxy setup
to try it so I'm letting the current settings for now, we
can update if
somebody else confirm the bug
