[arch-general] thunderbird proxy env. vars for socks
Hi,
I'm familiar with proxy envirnoment variables such as (both lower and
upper case versions):
use_proxy
soap_use_proxy
http_proxy
https_proxy
ftp_proxy
rsync_proxy
no_proxy
all_proxy
Thunderbird at least pay attention to some of them, and honestly,
before I haven't needed anything else.
However, inside the company, I need to setup manually under TB:
SOCKS Host: <...> Port: <...>
As SOCKS v5. Where the socks host is the same as the other proxy
hosts, but its socks port must be different than the rest.
I don't use any DE, but I have some automation through bash+xinitrc
which depends on how to set the env. vars, so that I only need to set
on TB/FF "use system proxy settings".
I've tried several possible env. vars (both lower and upper case) like:
socks_proxy
socks_server
socks_version
smtp_proxy="socks5://

You could try tsocks, available from the extra repository. --Kyle
