NAME
libproxy - automatic proxy configuration management library
DESCRIPTION
libproxy provides interfaces to get the proxy that will be used to
access network resources. It uses various plugins to get proxy configu-
ration via different mechanisms (e.g. environment variables or desktop
settings).
The envvar plugin gets the proxy configuration from the http_proxy and
no_proxy environment variables. The file plugin gets proxy configura-
tion from /etc/proxy.conf and $HOME/.proxy.conf. The Gnome plugin gets
the proxy configuration via Gsettings.
The order in which each proxy mechanism will be checked is specified by
the environment PX_CONFIG_ORDER. The default order is "USER,SES-
SION,SYSTEM,envvar". USER, SESSION and SYSTEM are all categories of
proxy configuration. envvar means the plugin which gets proxy setting
from the environment variable "http_proxy".
The Gnome plugin belongs to the SESSION category, so the Gnome settings
will be checked before the environment variable.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(7) for descriptions of environment variables.
http_proxy URL of HTTP proxy to use.
no_proxy A comma delimited list of hosts (or domains) for which
proxying is not to be used.
