Mikko pointed out to me that we have an alternative libproxy implementation in Tizen coming from ConnMan. So technically it wouldn't be hard. However, only zypper uses it, and that's not a bug in the other components because support for libproxy and/or ConnMan's proxy settings are not official. For this to change, someone would have to file a feature request for "centralized proxy settings" which needs to be approved as Tizen feature. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
