There's no way to know which outbound traffic corresponds to "http
traffic." There's no requirement that remote sites actually put their
web servers on port 80, and many do not.
Of course; duh. I need to drink more coffee.
Or does running a local proxy
make more sense; it would change configuration but local apps
would always contact the local proxy.
That just moves the problem from one place to another. Perhaps the
theory is that (unlike the browser), we can make this proxy work right
... ?
Well, it does handle the restart problem, and does give us a single
point of reconfiguration much nicer than restarting all processes
using the wrong environment variable...
