     3 libproxy \- automatic proxy configuration management library

     4 .SH "DESCRIPTION"

     5 .PP

     6 \fBlibproxy\fR provides interfaces to get the proxy that will be used

     7 to access network resources\&. It uses various plugins to get proxy configuration

     8 via different mechanisms (e\&.g\&. environment variables or desktop settings)\&.

     9 .PP

    10 The envvar plugin gets the proxy configuration from the http_proxy and no_proxy

    11 environment variables\&. The file plugin gets proxy configuration from

    12 \fB/etc/proxy\&.conf\fR and

    13 \fB$HOME/\&.proxy\&.conf\fR\&. The Gnome plugin gets the proxy

    14 configuration via Gsettings.

    15 .PP

    16 The order in which each proxy mechanism will be checked is specified by the

    17 environment PX_CONFIG_ORDER\&.  The default order is

    18 "USER,SESSION,SYSTEM,envvar"\&. USER, SESSION and SYSTEM are all

    19 categories of proxy configuration\&.  envvar means the plugin which gets proxy

    20 setting from the environment variable "http_proxy"\&.

    21 .PP

    22 The Gnome plugin belongs to the SESSION category, so the Gnome settings will be

    23 checked before the environment variable\&.

    26 See \fBenviron\fR(7) for descriptions of environment variables\&.
