Hi,
I am switching between university and home, at university we have a proxy server. So when I am there I open my plugin-image standalone, write the
HTTPSocket useProxyServerNamed: 'bla.unibe.ch' port: 80
save the image. Then it works. Fine.
When I am at home I have to do the same, but write instead
HTTPSocket stopUsingProxyServer
I don't have to do something similar for Java / Flash plugins.
Could we make that transparent also? I am on OS-X 10.2

This is (or was? John?) a problem on OS X, as due to a bug in Safari we can't use the browser to access the web.
What does this mean? On platforms where this works, Squeak goes through the browser to access the web thereby utilizing the browser's ability to deal with proxies.
On platforms where this does not work, we connect to the web directly from within Squeak, but then we don't know what the browser knows.
John McIntosh did a lot of bug fixing lately, so we need to check again.
Thank you for bringing this up!

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.
