[Squeakland] Re: [Q] How can we make web proxies transparent for the squeak plugin?

[John M McIntosh]

Actually I've altered the squeakland plugin so the latest version found  
at

see http://homepage.mac.com/johnmci/

SqueakLand.3.7.2b1.dmg


Should use the proxy information to do the browser related get/post  
calls. The plugin does not however use the browser netscape callbacks  
which are busted in safari to do this. Rather it relies on Apple's  
internet api which supports the proxy information set in the network  
control pane in the system preferences. People are welcome to confirm  
that post/gets via browser api in the browser plugin works as expected  
with proxies.
