Proxy type in swt.Browser [message #528917] Thu, 22 April 2010 11:47 Go to next message

Hello!

I'd like to set proxy type setting to some value, but
System.setProperty("network.proxy.type","2"); or -Dnetwork.proxy.type=2
as vm argument doesn't work.
Only what is working, is set the network.proxy_host. This will change
the network.proxy.type=1. As one can see in Mozilla.class property
"network.proxy.type" is used only for this case.

Could, please somebody help me, how to set network.proxy.type
programatically?

Best Regards!

Ivo

Hi Ivo,

First, the non-programmatic way for a user of your app to do this is to
navigate to about:config, search for network.proxy.type, and change its
value to 2.

Programmatically the easiest way to do this is with a line like:

browser.execute(
"var prefs =
Components.classes[\"@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1\"].getService(Compon
ents.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);" +
"prefs.setIntPref(\"network.proxy.type\", 2);");

When looking into this I realized that the Browser has a bad behaviour when
the network.proxy_host and/or network.proxy_port properties are set, which
is that these values are persisted to the profile's preferences at the end
of the session, and will be applied to future sessions even if values are
not set for these properties. I've fixed this in the 3.6 stream (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310290 ). With this now in
place I suggest that you continue setting the proxy host and/or port via the
network.proxy_host/network.proxy_port java properties, and then set the
proxy type using the #execute line from above (just do this for the first
Browsr instance and it will be applied to all future Browser instances in
the current session as well). Setting these values this way will ensure
that all of these preferences, including the one that you set with the line
above, will be reverted to their initial values just before the preferences
are written out at shutdown time.
