Hi,

I would really love to see a way to update the proxy settings in konqueror with dcop. 
It would be ok with me when konqueror would monitor a file (with the proxy urls) for changes and ajust it settings automaticaly.

Also for even better security a cascade of proxies (eg x.y.z.w:8080/a.b.c.d:80/...) would be nice.

regards,
    Miro

Sorry but being able to update proxy settings through dcop or dbus now will never be implemented due to the very obvious security concerns brought about by such action.

Hello,

It can already be done in command line, but it is a lot of pain.

You have to hack $HOME/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc file and change ProxyType and httpProxy vars, then send this dbus call : /KIO/Scheduler org.kde.KIO.Scheduler.reparseSlaveConfiguration

It could be easier.
