org-mode setting the browser with options

org-mode setting the browser with options

[Neil Cherry]

I need to use 2 different Windows browser (proxy and no-proxy is the reason).

What I want to do is that if it's example.com use firefox (no options). If it's
example.org use chrome --no-proxy-server. I'm not exacly sure how to approach this.

Thanks

Two different scripts one yproxy and the other nproxy.
Put the necessary running code in each.

I would look at browse-url built-in package. With browse-url you can set
a function that will determine which browser to use based on the url and
you can set the options for each supported browser.

Thanks, that got me thinking and search-fu found:

(setq
 browse-url-browser-function
 '(
  ("example\\.com" . browse-url-chrome)
  ("example\\.org" . browse-url-chrome)
  ("." . browse-url-default-browser)
  ))

Which works perfect!

Thanks

Slight amendment, I think this code also helped:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

 '(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-default-browser))
 '(browse-url-chrome-arguments (quote ("--no-proxy-server")))
 '(browse-url-chrome-program "chrome")

)

Note that the extra lines I'm referring to are the 3 browse-url-... lines in the
custom-set-variables

Thanks
