[haXe] Automatic Proxy Detection

[Jim Hayes]

Worked fine for me, outputs null, which is correct for my setup (no
proxy).
Tested under windows XP sp2 with firefox 1.5 and IE6 installed.
Thanks Nicolas, it will be a useful tool to have.

Hi list,

Some people using HTTP proxies were unable to use some tools such as
haxeLib. Before adding Proxy support to haxe.Http, I would like to get
sure that proxy settings can be retrieved in most of the cases.

Here's a small class that retrieve the Proxy Settings from various
system-specific configurations places. It seems to work for the
following OS/Browsers :

- Windows 2K : Firefox 1.5 Settings and IE 6 Settings
- OSX 10.4 : System/Safari Settings Firefox Settings
- Linux : Firefox Settings

I would like a lot people to test the following :

a) compile using "haxe -main ProxyDetect -neko pdetect.n"
b) run using "neko pdetect.n"

You should get a trace with either "null" (no proxy detected) or a proxy
structure of the kind { host : 127.0.0.1, port : 8080, auth : null }.

If you get an exception or if the printed settings does not correspond
to your system configuration, try watching the sources of the class and
send me some feedback/patch so I can improve it.

Best,
Nicolas
