[arch-general] thunderbird proxy env. vars for socks

[Javier Vasquez]

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://<proxy_host>:<port>"

So far I haven't been able to get any possitive results.

Does any one know how I might be able to set socks for TB through env. vars?

Thanks,
