Comment #63 on issue 266 by towomail: Chrome uses Windows' proxy settings http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=266
I understand the argument of http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=266#c23 (note that Safari does the same but Opera (9.6) does not!). I also understand that you are reluctant to change this just because some people want "independence". But there is one problem not yet mentioned which makes the "won't fix" assessment premature and plainly wrong: As described in duplicate http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7792 , my company IT configures a proxy configuration which simply doesn't work with Chrome. I do not know the reasons, neither of their policy nor technically why it does not work. But the effect is that Chrome does not have Internet access. Manual fixing does not help because the company configuration is restored now and then. Obviously this means that the PAC file proposal doesn't help either. Manual fixing might not even be possible for some users, see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1089 So I hope the prospect of http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1195#c1 will carry through. The feature is definitely needed as I could hopefully substantiate! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
