I'm in Germany and there is a website in the UK that I want to d/l some videos from, but the site blocks all non-UK addresses. I think that I can get around this by using a proxy, but I'm not sure. Is there a way to have FireFox use a proxy for this website only? If so, how. OR can someone suggest a better way to d/l these videos?
You can write a little auto proxy config script - it's a javascript function and would look like this: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if ( isPlainHostName(host) ) return "DIRECT"; else if ( isInNet(host,"192.168.0.0","255.255.0.0") ) return "DIRECT"; else if ( isInNet(host,"nnn.nn.220.64","255.255.255.224") ) return "PROXY host.name:80"; else return "PROXY squid.local.net:3128; DIRECT"; } This script is what we use internally - local addresses are direct, some external addresses use one proxy, the rest another (=squid). You make the script available to FF under Preferrences->Network->Connection->Settings->Automatic proxy configuration URL. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
