Improving the "cycle through proxies" mode

Thu, 08/27/2009 - 08:27 — Pascal G.

Hi,
 
Would it be possible to restrict the cycle through proxies mode to declared proxies only, i.e to "default" and whatever other proxies that the user has defined ? In the current version this mode also cycles through the two options "deactivate FoxyProxy" and "pattern-based proxy" which I think are not relevant at all in that mode.
 
Also, the great benefit of restricting to declared proxies would be that in the case where the user has defined only one proxy, then it would become possible to switch between "default" and the defined proxy in a single click on the FoxyProxy icon in the status bar !
 
Thanks,

Hi Pascal,

Yes, this was my original intention with "cycle through proxies", but I never got around to fully implementing it. It's still a good idea, I think.

I've added it to my "TODO" list so I don't forget. Just don't expect it in the next release unless someone else can work on it (hint, hint... are you a developer? I can help you and show you what exactly needs to be changed)

Hi Eric,   Thanks for your

Hi Eric,
 
Thanks for your answer. I used to be a developer but that was a long time ago... However, I'm still working in the software industry, so I get regular code exposure with the developers I'm working with and I might be able to do this myself. Can I have a look at your code to see how much work is needed and how difficult this could be ? I guess I need to install some kind of SDK too ? Let me check the documentation on FireFox addons...
