Do not read stderr from proxy autodetection scripts

2016-10-04T17:30:30Z

This fixes a regression introduced in commit 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing which accidentally made the proxy autodetection code also read the scripts output on stderr, not only on stdout when it switched the code from popen() to Popen().

implement and document DIRECT for auto-detect-proxy

2016-06-20T11:49:31Z

There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as an error rather than silently discarded.

do not error if auto-detect-proxy cmd has no output

2016-06-20T11:22:22Z

Regression introduced in 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a. Commands are probably better of always having output through as the fall through to the generic proxy settings is likely not intended. As documenting and implementing this more consistently is kind of a regression through, it is split off into the next commit. Closes: 827713

don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing

2016-06-10T08:49:41Z

Just closing the fd would be enough, but while we are at it we can also use the Popen interface to have an easier time with this.

Allow override of Proxy-Auto-Detect by the users configuration

2014-09-12T09:44:11Z

Only run the Proxy-Auto-Detect code if there is not already a host specific configuration. Closes: 759264

Make Proxy-Auto-Detect check for each host

2014-09-02T14:02:37Z

When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect command for each host instead of only once. This should make using "proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC style or other proxy configurations. Closes: #759264
