Re: Autoproxy behind a corporate firewall that uses a website to configure proxy

Hello,

I am a tcl user behind a corporate firewall. I'd like to develop an
app that communicates with a server outside of the firewall, and I'd
like to write this app in tcl. The only problem is that autoproxy
does not work because my company stores proxy info on a website. IE
knows the url and uses it just fine, but autoproxy seems unable to do
so. Is there anyway to grab the proxy info from that site and
configure the http package accordingly?

If you are in the same case as I am, you're out of luck :-)
Indeed all the logic is written in Javascript to be executed by the
client (the browser)... In my case the workaround is to identify the
proxy to use for the "outside" which is (in my company) constant for a
given location of the client machine (my company is multi-site). Yes,
it's awfully inelegant, but taming a SpiderMonkey just for that was
contrary to my religion ;-)
