iexplore proxy server

[Luke Bratch]

Hello

Is there supposed to be a way to set a HTTP (or
otherwise) proxy server in Wine's iexplore at the
moment?

I can't find any such documentation, but searching
around has found a lot of people suggesting that
setting these keys will help:

[Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001 
"ProxyServer"="proxyserver:8080"

Setting those didn't make any difference in iexplore,
but the attached patch which edits a file that the
Gecko installer creates, makes HTTP proxy support work
perfectly.

Is this the correct/only way to do this?

Thanks

There are two ways. First is to set these Gecko settings at runtime,
depending on IE settings. The right way would be to use wininet to
handle http/https/ftp connections. It's something we have to do sooner
or later and, while fixing other bugs, we are slowly getting to that
state. This is one of many problems that will be solved by it.
