#6 Flexible chain proxies configuration

[Michael Orlov]

Hi, not sure whether feature requests are still relevant for BFilter, but here is one that at least for me would allow replacing Privoxy (with its cumbersome configuration) with BFilter.

What I would like to have (and have in Privoxy) is a proxy configuration similar to follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<forwarding>
<option name="Complex" selected="selected">
<proxy-chain>
<simple-hostnames/>
<host-mask>127.*</host-mask>
<!-- no proxy element: direct connection -->
</proxy-chain>
<proxy-chain>
<host-mask>*.springerlink.com</host-mask>
<host-mask>*.acm.com</host-mask>
<proxy>
<!-- SSH SOCKS Tunnel -->
<type>socks5</type>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>1234</port>
</proxy>
<proxy>
<!-- Intranet HTTP proxy -->
<type>http</type>
<host>proxy.library.edu</host>
<port>8080</port>
</proxy>
</proxy-chain>
<proxy-chain>
<host-mask>check.torproject.org</host-mask>
<host-mask>*.onion</host-mask>
<proxy>
<!-- Tor SOCKS Gateway -->
<type>socks5</type>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>9050</port>
</proxy>
</proxy-chain>
<!-- no match: direct connection -->
</option>
</forwarding>

Indented XML file

I see SF didn't keep indentation - attaching indented XML file.

I see what you mean. Yes, this kind of feature would be nice to have. Unfortunately, I've abandoned this project a long time ago, leaving no one to work on it. I'll leave this feature request as open, though I don't expect it to ever be implemented.
