[cfb-ext-dev] Get proxy data from builder?

[Dave Ferguson]

Anyone know if it is possible to get any proxy information that was
entered into CF Builder preferences into an extension?

Thanks,

Great question Dave!

I actually ran into this same problem with my Pastebin extension. It
works fine at home but it doesn't work at the office. This is because
I am using the cfhttp tag to make the call. I would love to hear what
others think about the issue. I don't think there is a real clear cut
solution. This maybe an opportunity to get some ideas out there to the
engineers for v2 as well.

While not a great answer, don't forget you can write your extension to
do prompts during installlation. You could ask for it then - and it
wouldn't need to be asked again when the user runs "normal" calls to
your extension.

That was my initial thought as well but what happens if you need to do
this down the road or proxy information changes. There would be no way
to update your settings. I almost think in this instance we need a way
to grab the proxy information from Eclipse.

My thought is that if extensions are supposed to be an extension of
the interface. So, shouldn't they have access to any info/data that is
in the interface?

That's right, if the config information is already there somewhere
then we shouldn't have to ask the user to input it again. For now
though it seems like your only option might be to have a little
settings menu for your extension.

cheers,
Justin
