Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name    : proxy-applet
  Version         : 2.4.0
  Upstream Author : Dag Wieers
* URL             : http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/gnome-applets/
* License         : GPL
  Description     : An applet that allows you to change your GNOME Proxy configuration with a single click.

Galeon used to have a single click 'Network Proxy selector' in their menu, which I used frequently. In a discussion with Epiphany developers about this same functionality (using GConf) they argued that you could already move the Proxy Network capplet to your taskbar.

But that doesn't offer all the functionality I'm looking for. What I think would be neat is:

    * An applet that gives you a list of preset configurations upon a single click.

    * Each configuration is called a 'location' and could either mean:
          o No proxy
          o Manually configured proxy
          o Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC)
                + A remote URL, eg. http://pac.isp.net/path/file.pac
                + A local URI, eg. file:///home/user/pacs/location.pac 

    * When you select another location, the applet should replace your GConf settings accordingly. (GConf key: /system/http_proxy)

    * A preferences dialog should allow to manage locations and even test a location (see if proxy works or check PAC syntax ?).

    * In a later phase there might even be an automatic selection based on eg. the network-configuration (ip-address, network, gateway, ??). So the applet has to monitor the network configuration for changes.

    * When using tsocks or dante lib, we could have a dialog to socksify the complete system. (Add it to /etc/ld.so.preload or run /etc/init.d/tsocks) 

A first basic implementation is in the file proxy-applet-0.2.3.tar.bz2 and packages can be found at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/proxy-applet/.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 331320
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
331320@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
