Http proxy

[tkuypers at pandora.be]

Hi Dave, 

Indeed, no replies... :-((

Not even from Kevin, but I think he is still on leave (and he deserved it)

The URL you mentioned is very interesting, but you are right... To make it
work, you need the location of the pacfile so that¹s no solution
unfortunately.

put hostNameToAddress("WDAP") returns empty though my settings are set to
Automatic detect...

Nope, I guess we have to wait for a respons from our RR friends, unless
anybody else has figuered this one out...

Regards,

Ton Kuypers
