Overview
The proxy applet is designed to allow the user to setup a global proxy configuration for the system and store it in a series of gconf keys. These keys can be read or monitored by network accessible applications in order to be able to access the net properly. The following settings are supported
- Internet connection type (direct, manual, or autoproxy)
- Manual proxy config settings (HTTP, SHTTP, FTP, Socks proxy host and port settings)
- Autoproxy settings (config URL)
- Ignore host list (for hosts that don't need the proxy to access)
Files Needed
- /usr/lib/moblin-applets/libhcpcommon.so
- all control panel applets need this
- /usr/lib/hildon-control-panel/network-proxy.so
- The applet library
- /usr/share/applications/hildon-control-panel/network-proxy.desktop
- The applet descriptor, tells mobile-basic-flash to create a shortcut in "Settings"
- /usr/share/moblin-applets/glade/network-proxy.glade
- Glade XML file describing the dialog
