http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902359 --- Comment #3 from Ville Koskinen <villek@matrixscience.com> --- Adding proxy profile support to YAST would save me some effort, so I'm all for it. Proxy autoconfiguration in web browsers is fine and solves a part of the problem, but it doesn't help with command-line tools (like zypper and wget) or other X applications. The workaround you suggest for shell sessions is actually a good idea and I'll make use of it. I wonder if it would be possible to use something like libproxy (https://code.google.com/p/libproxy/) in /etc/profile.d, so that shell sessions would use the same autoconfiguration mechanism? That still doesn't solve the whole problem; e.g. X applications run from within X without libproxy or autoconfiguration support would still use the http_proxy environment variable, and if the network doesn't support PAC, you would still need to set http_proxy manually. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
