There is a function in the engine named httpProxyForURL that was documented in the engine release notes at one time. When provided with the PAC file (JavaScript) and some JavaScript containing some support functions, httpProxyForURL will determine the proper proxy IP address to use for any given URL. To properly implement PAC support httpProxyForURL needs to be integrated into libURL (the library that handles HTTP/HTTPS/FTP communication for LiveCode). At this point the libURL library included with LiveCode does not integrate httpProxyForURL. The custom version of libURL that is included with the GLX Application Framework has httpProxyForURL built in. The framework itself has handlers that determine the proxy URL or PAC file in use on the system and sets up libURL accordingly. You could use the custom libURL library and extract the relevant handlers from the framework for use in your project if you wanted (or just use the framework for your project). During the last month I've fixed some bugs in my custom libURL library relating to PAC files and cookie processing. I haven't posted an update to the framework yet that contains the fixes but I can email them to you the relevant files if you would like. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems LiveCode Resources for Developers: http://livecode.bluemangolearning.com Get SQL Yoga as part of the Omegabundle for LiveCode 2011: Save 85% on essential tools for LiveCode development - omegabundle.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
