pidgin 2.10.6 on Ubuntu 12.10: cannot connect behind a HTTP Proxy to gmail account

[Marcello Magaldi]

thanks Daniel, I read the answer you pointed me but the solution is not
doable in my case since I'm at work and I cannot configure network
infrastructure, I can only modify my machine configuration . Is there a way
I can fix this issue only modifying mine machine configuration ?
