I originally posted this on Opensuse-project but am re-posting here on
suggestion of Will.
There was a recent thread on Opensuse-project about possible
improvements to look for in YaST, but I don't remember any discussion on
this topic. Is there any way that an Automatic configuration URL can be
used to set up the network proxy? Similar to that implemented e.g.
inside Firefox, but for system-wide application.
I'm trying to push Linux - and OSL in particular - at work. The MS users
are expected to set up proxy via a URL that seems to point to a piece of
(java?) script which returns a string in the form "PROXY cache1:8080;
PROXY cache2:8080; ". Somehow (I don't understand the details) this
implements a form of load balancing between a number of proxy servers. I
can extract one of the server addresses and enter it manually but (a)
it's a bit clunky and (b) the load balancing is not included. I can't
see any way to enter more than 1 address?
Just an idea...
