Using a proxy from GUI

[Rarok]

Hi, I think It shouldn't be hard. I only want to make a suggestion:
Including the proxy selection from the GUI.
In the website I found how to use a proxy and/or ssh tunneling but they require to use the shell and some users don't know how to use it. I think that giving the option to consigure the proxy from the GUI should be very good for novice users.

Sorry for my bad english

the attached patch makes proxy support work... no additional GUI, it uses proxy settings configured in system preferences

This would be great if Rarok's patch could be landed on trunk.

[robclark]

updated patch which doesn't break non-proxy case ;-)

[timothy]

I'll take a look at landing this.

This looks interesting.. how does one install such a patch ?

Colloquy really needs to follow the system wide proxy settings found in the system preferences...

/me watches this ticket:1229 and related ticket:747.

Duplicate of #747. The patch needs cleaned up in order for it to be landed.

This ticket allows for more kinds of proxies then just http, even if the patch is only for http proxies and should still be kept open.

The patch shouldn't be modifying AsyncSocket... There's better ways to provide proxy support.

How should this be done? If I was implementing from scratch I'd use CFNetwork...
