It's unclear to me what the implications of this are? How does this behave differently from if we were to set the network proxies through gecko? Does this mean that we can set per-wifi-hotspot proxy settings? Is this exposed in the UI anywhere? Has anyone talked to the network team about advantages/disadvantages compared to using gecko proxy configurations? / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
