15963N/A&cmd; provides interfaces to get the proxy that will be used to access network

15963N/Aresources. It uses various plugins to get proxy configuration via different

15963N/Amechanisms (e.g. environment variables, GConf, PAC).

15952N/A

15952N/AThe order in which each proxy configuration should be checked is determined

15963N/Aby a environment PX_CONFIG_ORDER, the default order is

15963N/A&quot;USER,SESSION,SYSTEM,envvar&quot;. USER, SESSION and SYSTEM are all

15963N/Acategories of proxy configuration. envvar means the plugin who get proxy

15963N/Asetting from the environment variable &quot;http_proxy&quot;.

15952N/A

15952N/AGConf plugin belongs to the SESSION category, so GConf setting will be checked

15952N/Abefore environment variable.

15952N/A

15963N/A&cmd; also supports the feature of WPAD. But for the consideration of security

15952N/Arisk imported by WPAD, wpad-fallback plugin is disabled by default. Users who

15963N/Awant to enable this feature can export PX_CONFIG_ORDER to

15963N/A&quot;USER,SESSION,SYSTEM,envvar,wpad-fallback&quot;, so the WPAD will be tried

15963N/Aif all the other plugins fail to find a proxy.
