$http_proxy and $ftp_proxy may not be very well documented but they are defacto standards and as such it would be good to support them in Wine. > IMHO, the current password exposition is a ugly thing: > $ export http_proxy=http://user:__>>**password**<<[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 > > I think would be preferable hide the password typing and don't storing > it in a file like system register, maintaining it in the memory only. > Perhaps getting the password altrougt some interactive process which > hide the password. Storing the password in an environment variable is ok as there's no way for other users to access it. Besides, changing that would require changing the $http_proxy standard so which is a completely separate issue. I think the important issue at hand is that currently Wine completely ignores the user's proxy settings stored in $http_proxy. -- Francois Gouget <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U
