Ah, that explains it. I've already tried using the gconf settings in MeeGo, and it doesn't work very well. I'd set them for the user, and things running as root (like yum) don't pick them up. Hence my conclusion that the best approach is to use libproxy. What we actually want is a libproxy dæmon which fetches and loads the PAC file *once*, then individual applications just use a libproxy plugin which talks to that dæmon -- and don't all have to download the PAC file and run the JS interpreter for themselves. But a libproxy module which just gets the info from ConnMan is the first step. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation _______________________________________________ connman mailing list connman@connman.net http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
