Hello everyone! I would like to announce the release of version 0.2 of libproxy, an open-source library that provides functions to manage proxy configurations uniformly across applications and user sessions. libproxy has a stable API and modules to read configuration from GNOME, KDE, a file, or an environment variable (for compatibility with existing implementations). In addition, libproxy automatically adjusts for changing network topology via integration with NetworkManager and is able to autodetect proxy settings through WPAD and PAC compliance.
Through these features, an application that links to libproxy will not have to worry about proxy configuration or even a change of networks: libproxy will automatically provide the correct proxy to use. Please have a look at http://libproxy.googlecode.com for more info. By reading the wget website I gather that the proper method to file a bug or a feature request is to send a message to this list. Please consider this a request for wget to link to libproxy, as it would ensure wget always has access to the correct proxy. Thanks for your time! Alex Panait
