It's not a mess. Although it is theoretically possible to write complicated autoproxy scripts that use a different proxy for different hosts, in practice all anyone ever uses is a single proxy and a list of no-proxy hosts. > While looking more at this I found that MS actually are providing an > API (WinHttpGetProxyForUrl) for this now on XP and W2k. It is not an OS API, it is an Internet Explorer API, and the first parameter is a handle to an open "INTERNET_SESSION", created by another function in the same API, so if you start down that road you'll end up having to continue, and that would restrict the networking capabilities of Emacs to what is supported by IE. Not to mention that IE is not Free, and thus unsuitable to build Free software on top of. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
