[gentoo-user] auto proxy config (Firefox, and more)

[gentoo-user] auto proxy config (Firefox, and more)

[Benjamin Graf]

Hi,
I'm using my notebook in the school (via Wi-Fi + Cisco VPN) and at
home. At school I need a proxy, but not at home.

I tried this as a proxy automatic configuration file (*.pac), but it
doesn't work :

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
        if (myIpAddress().substring(0,7) == "192.168") {
                return "DIRECT";
        }
        else {
                if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".he-arc.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".eiaj.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".heaa-ne.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".hegne.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".career-women.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".ilce.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".isnetne.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".agf.hes.so.ch") ||
                dnsDomainIs(host, ".hesap1.eif.ch") ||
                host == "127.0.0.1" ||
                host.substring(0,3) == "10." ||
                host.substring(0,10) == "157.26.64." ||
                host.substring(0,8) == "192.168." ||
                host == "57.26.241.20") {
                        return "DIRECT";
                }
                else {
                        return "PROXY proxy.he-arc.ch:8080";
                }
        }
}

At school, it works correctly (it uses the proxy when it is
necessary), but not at home. I think the "myIpAddress" is maybe not
the right solution.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve my problem ? I would prefer a
more global solution (for the whole system, not only Firefox), but if
you have an idea for Firefox, I would be really happy !

Thanks

Ben

The only thing I can think of is that maybe "myIpAddress" is not
returning what you think it returns?

	THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
	 <<<< ladybree@ >>>>
We'll begin with box, the plural is boxes;
But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose is never meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man always is men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be call pen?
If I speak of a foot and you show me two feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If the singular is this and the plural these,
Should a plural of kiss ever be keese?
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the females - she, shis and shim!

Thanks for the answer !

How can I see what myIpAddress() returns ? I tried it in a simple html
page (javascript) but it didn't work.
