Re: Ilugd-dev Digest, Vol 14, Issue 1: Geting Proxy Information.

hi
sorry for this late response. if you just have to retrieve files from
the inet, you cal probably use something like wget (which
automatically checks for proxy set in the environment).
if you want your application to run as a socks client, you can use
dante (http://freshmeat.net/redir/dante/1689/url_homepage/dante).
ald if you really do go about coding this, i think perl would be your
best bet :) (i know someone else on the list who really likes perl)

hope this helps
