[opensuse-project] Network Proxy - Can Automatic configuration URL be used in YaST?
We had a recent thread 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... -- Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

I think you should bring this up on the dedicate opensuse-networking list. Will --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
