Hi all,
I've got an application which uses a third party command line tool to download some files from the web. Unfortunately, the command line tool won't work with a proxy server unless the proxy settings are written in clear text (ugly but nothing I can do about that) in a config file. The config file itself is read/write only by root, so it's not *quite* as hideous as it could be ;-)
Anyway, writing to the config file isn't a problem. My question is how can I read the System proxy username and password settings from within my application in order to be able to write them to the file?
I've searched through the mailing list archives and had a look at the SystemConfiguration Framework API but still can't quite find what I'm looking for. The closest thing I can see is SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies but that only returns the following keys in the dictionary:
kSCPropNetProxiesExceptionsList
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPEnable
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPProxy
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPPort
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPSEnable
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPSProxy
kSCPropNetProxiesHTTPSPort
kSCPropNetProxiesFTPEnable
kSCPropNetProxiesFTPProxy
kSCPropNetProxiesFTPPort
kSCPropNetProxiesFTPPassive
none of which is what I'm looking for.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Mark
