If I set a web proxy in the System Preferences, how do I get an app running in X11 to use that proxy? I'm sure there is a terminal command for it, but what I want is for the software to automatically use what's in the system prefs.
Background: dcgui-qt retrieves a public hub list from an http server. When the user has to use a proxy server, dcgui-qt cannot get through and retrieve it.

There's not going to be a system-wide setting for X11 apps' use of a proxy. You'll have to configure it on an app-by-app basis. If the app is a KDE of Gnome app, there may be a configuration at that level you can set.

Many Unix apps retrieve proxy settings from the Unix environment. Before launching the app from the command line:
C style shell:
setenv http_proxy "http://proxy.example.com:80/"
setenv no_proxy "*.example.com"
Bourne style shell:
export http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:80/"
export no_proxy="*.example.com"
Works the same for FTP proxies, just with the ftp_proxy variables.

That helps for the X11 part and for the advanced users. Another aspect of this is that we've ported it to be a native OSX app by using the qt libraries (it is qt based source). In trying to make it as mac-like as possible, can this be done without using the terminal? Something added to the source?

Couldn't you make the executable a shell script that sets the variables, then launches the app?

But how do apps know when I set a proxy? What is it that they look at that tells them the proxy? Like if I set a web proxy, when I hit "apply", Safari will automatically use it, even without relaunching it. What does it look at to check and see if there's a proxy set?

You might ask that one in the developer forum. I believe that is a Cocoa thing. (nsnetwork or something?)
