Thanks Benny,
I did not believe it was such a mess. I did expect it to be something
that the OS provided. I just thought that I could not find it.
While looking more at this I found that MS actually are providing an API
(WinHttpGetProxyForUrl) for this now on XP and W2k. This should perhaps
be rather simple to call on w32 to give Emacs the possibility to handle
HTTP proxies.
However of course we want Emacs to have this power on GNU/Linux too! I
believe that GNU/Linux should benefit from having an API like
WinHttpGetProxyForUrl. Maybe it does have it already? Otherwise are not
the capabilities for this in the Mozilla code? Are there code that code
be copied to GNU/Linux perhaps? (Where should a suggestion like this go?)
