Title: Opera through a proxy
Post by: ahnkle on October 20, 2004, 05:12:57 am

I am trying to browse with opera, but it doesn't like my proxy. I cant find anything about a proxy in opera's preferences, although the opera.ini file does mention proxy settings. I have tried editing the ini file but cant get that to work either.

I have the package manager running, by using a .wgetrc file with the proxy settings in.

Any ideas?

I did find clues to the answer to my question, after looking around.

Don't change the opera.ini file, as opera picks up proxy info from elsewhere.

I got opera 7.3 to work after I created a file called Proxies.conf.

I found that a file called /root/Applications/Network/modules/Proxies.conf is needed. Contents are as below.

Code: [Select]

=========file starts=========
[Info]
[Properties]
autoconfig =
ftphost = proxy.linux.bogus
ftpport = 8181
httphost = proxy.linux.bogus
httpport = 8181
noproxies =
type = 2

The key line in the post above is:

type=2

I don't know why, and if you edit the proxies area (or maybe any area) using the network config app, it will reset it to =1.

The configuration is in the referenced directory, but I think there are multiple configurations, one for each kind of card (if you have them), so you may need to change more than one.
