[Pharo-project] About HTTP proxies, settings and MacOS
Hi guys. Few weeks ago, there was an issue about Zn and HTTP proxies. I am in MacOS and behind a proxy. Before that issue, I was able to DIRECTLY connect to internet without specifying anything at the image level. This is because, I guess, the VM and somehow the image I guess, took the default proxy settings I have in MacOS. Now, with the last version of Pharo 1.3 I need to explicitly set the proxy in order to go to internet. So, first question, is that expected? Second question, if I go to the settings browser, Network -> Use HTTP proxy, if I check the box, it AUTOMATICALLY shows me the correct data: IP + port. So it seems it is getting it automatically from the MacOS specification. When enabling the checkbox, I can use internet. However, I still need to go there and set it and I am a lazy guy ;) So my question is....is there a way to avoid having to set this? I mean, if you could detect that there was a proxy IP and port, why not to use it directly? is this on purpose? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
