Description jfurmankiewicz 2006-08-17 16:21:34 UTC
At my employer, we do not have a hard-coded proxy server name. Instead we point
to a proxy configuration URL, e.g.:
http://proxyconf.myemployer.com

We can do this in IE, Firefox, etc...however NB does not offer this option, In
order to get proxy working, I had to open that URL in Notepad, parse it to find
the exact proxy server and port for my location and enter it manually,

Of course it will break as soon as something in that proxy configuraton URL changes.

There should be support for proxy configuration URL in NB

Should be part of Proxy Options redesign.
