About:
Libproxy is a library that offers a consistent API for applications to determine the appropriate proxy for a given URL. It automatically retrieves proxy settings from various sources including environment variables, GNOME configuration, and KDE system settings. This eliminates the need for applications to implement their own complex proxy configuration logic.
Key Features:
  • Automatic proxy configuration discovery
  • Supports multiple sources (env vars, GNOME, KDE, etc.)
  • Standardized API for applications
  • PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) file support
Use Cases:
  • Enabling proxy support in custom applications
  • Centralizing proxy configuration management
  • Building network-aware software
Alternatives:
  • curl – Curl handles HTTP requests but libproxy focuses solely on configuration discovery
  • proxychains – Proxychains forces connections through proxies while libproxy provides configuration APIs
