.SH "NAME"
libproxy \- automatic proxy configuration management library
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBlibproxy\fR provides interfaces to get the proxy that will be used
to access network resources\&. It uses various plugins to get proxy configuration
via different mechanisms (e\&.g\&. environment variables or desktop settings)\&.
.PP
The envvar plugin gets the proxy configuration from the http_proxy and no_proxy
environment variables\&. The file plugin gets proxy configuration from
\fB/etc/proxy\&.conf\fR and
\fB$HOME/\&.proxy\&.conf\fR\&. The Gnome plugin gets the proxy
configuration via Gsettings.
.PP
The order in which each proxy mechanism will be checked is specified by the
environment PX_CONFIG_ORDER\&.  The default order is
"USER,SESSION,SYSTEM,envvar"\&. USER, SESSION and SYSTEM are all
categories of proxy configuration\&.  envvar means the plugin which gets proxy
setting from the environment variable "http_proxy"\&.
.PP
The Gnome plugin belongs to the SESSION category, so the Gnome settings will be
checked before the environment variable\&.
