Re: [kde] proxy settings
Hi, Googling kioslaverc I found that there is a command to read from that file, in order to extract the http proxy settings I should use this command: kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group Proxy\ Settings --key httpproxy this will return the http host and the port, If the user is ussing and authentication proxy conecction it will give also the username and password? It this command available by default or require the installation some extra package? thanks.

However it only returns a value from a config file, it does not interpret the config. For example the attached config is my own, but proxy is disabled (I guess ProxyType=0 means disabled). If you need more information on KDE proxy handling I suggest you ask on the kde-core-devel mailing list. Cheers, Kevin thanks.

Re: [kde] proxy settings
Thanks Ducan, your answer and Kevin`s answer were really helpfull! What I am going to do is to check if the user is using Linux* and In that case I will try to get the proxy settings from http_proxy environment variable or from gconf or from kioslaverc. And if everything fail I will ask the user to provided the correct proxy settings (I think this is a fair solution because on one hand I think most linux users know what a proxy is and on the other hand at least I tried to get things easier for them :-) ) Probably I will download a KDE distribution to test my code or at least I will find someone using KDE (and willing to do a test for me). * (I use a python library call mechanize, in Windows and Mac OsX, this library reads the proxy setting from windows registry and some MacOsX registry) On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 8:50 PM, Duncan 1i5t5.dun...@cox.net wrote: Kevin Krammer posted on Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:58:53 +0200 as excerpted: On Friday, 2011-09-09, Osvaldo Martin wrote: Hi, Googling kioslaverc I found that there is a command to read from that file, in order to extract the http proxy settings I should use this command: kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group Proxy\ Settings --key httpproxy this will return the http host and the port, If the user is ussing and authentication proxy conecction it will give also the username and password?

[kde] proxy settings
Hi, Proxy setting can be stored in the environment variable HHTP_PROXY (I think this works in every Linux), but in GNOME the proxy setting could be configured using Network Proxy Preference in that case proxy setting are stored inside Gconf. KDE uses environment variable HHTP_PROXY and/or other place to store proxy settings? Thanks. ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
