Hi,

A proxy support and the ability to save a link with shift + click like in netscape would be great.
Anyway that's really good for a 1st release, hope u will continue ;p

Just read about this project on /. so I DL'd it. Great idea, but I can't get it to work at work without proxy support. Keep up the good work though. *PLEASE* give me a decent replacement for IE!!!!

I saw a post on slashdot telling how to make K-Meleon working with proxys:

Edit the default\prefs\all.js file with notepad
Look for the following lines :

pref("network.proxy.http", "");
pref("network.proxy.http_port", 0);

and modify them so it looks like this :

pref("network.proxy.http", "my_proxy_ip_addr");
pref("network.proxy.http_port", my_proxy_port);

without forgetting to modifying the my_proxy_ip_addr and my_proxy_port values smiling smiley

If you are using a socks proxy, you should modify the lines :

pref("network.hosts.socks_server", "");
pref("network.hosts.socks_serverport", 1080);

I didn't try it myself, so i don't know how reliable these informations are... Post replies here if it do or do not work...

I just downloaded it, tried it, but it won't work with a proxy, editing the all.js as stated above did not solve anything.... and it crashes when I close it (might be because of windowsblinds running)...

I found it!
in addition to the above settings, for a proxy (not socks), the additional setting should be:

setting pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
which is default '0': means???

oh, sorry for the doublepost above... something with network..

This works for me also. As indicated, I changed:

pref("network.proxy.http", "my_proxy_ip_addr");
pref("network.proxy.http_port", my_proxy_port);
pref("network.proxy.type", 1);

The above settings work fine for me.

With regards to the "network.proxy.no_proxies_on" field and it's values ... is it possible to include more than one option in the field? I can specify "lilly.com" and no proxy is used for any host on our intranet (good!). Can I however, specify something like "lilly.com,40.*.*.*" to catch those machines who aren't in the DNS tables? I haven't been able to make this work using a variety of string patterns.

Would be a nice option, one that is useful within either NS or IE.
