One of the items on the TODO list for setup.exe is to save and load proxy settings so the user doesn't have to keep entering them.
Below is a small patch to ConnectionSetting.cc to do just that: 39d38 < delete f; 41a41,47 > fg_ret = f->gets (localdir, 1000); > if (fg_ret) > net_proxy_host = strdup(fg_ret); > fg_ret = f->gets (localdir, 1000); > if (fg_ret) > net_proxy_port = atoi(fg_ret); > delete f; 48a55 > char port_str[20]; 62c69,71 < // TODO: also write the proxy and port, and then parse them in load. --- > f->write(net_proxy_host,strlen(net_proxy_host)); > sprintf(port_str, "\n%d\n", net_proxy_port); > f->write(port_str,strlen(port_str)); Hope this gets incorporated soon.
