Using a proxy from GUI

Reported by: Rarok Assigned to: timothy (accepted)
Priority: normal Component: Colloquy (GUI)
Version: Latest 2.1 Severity: normal
Keywords: proxy, GUI Cc: rob@ti.com, grahamperrin

Description

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

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