[Galeon-user] proxy settings with latest galeon builds

[Tom G. <to...@li...>]

Hey guys,

So at some point galeon switched over to using GNOME's proxy settings
dialogue.

This is unfortunate - as GNOME's proxy settings dialogue does not allow
for configuration of "don't proxy for these domains:" etc.

This means I can no longer use galeon at work, where the external
proxies don't proxy internal hosts :((

(I could turn off the proxy every time I needed an internal site, but
this went gone from 2 clicks - "settings/use proxy" to 7 clicks and 3
windows "edit/preferences/network/configure proxy/direct connection/ok"
at around about the same time).

Is there anyway to get back the old functionality? Or at least the
toggle? I'm currently using firebird, and missing galeon lots :(

Note that according to correspondence and bug reports I've seen with the
GNOME people, it doesn't look like this feature will ever get added to
the GNOME dialogue..

Tom.
