Thanks for the link, I’ll look into it further shortly and hopefully a Thunderbird compatible version wont be far off.

I’ll look into this further to see why that is occuring, as it should definitely be working in the way I mentioned. What OS/Firefox Version do you run?

Quickproxy works in Thunderbird 3 with very minor changes:

works a charm.

@Ozzie

I don’t see that happening, if I activate QP in Window 1, then focus window 2, the icon doesn’t update.

You might have a look at Firebug or Greasemonkey, they both update immediately in multiple windows.

If you would like to email it to me, then that would be great =) You can find my email address on my Mozilla dev profile: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/8636
You could also use the contact form on http://ozzie.id.au/quickproxy/ although direct email would be better as you could attach the update directly.

Hi Ozzie,
I found your add-on very useful ‘cos of the Website on which I have to work every day: it downloads properly sometimes with the proxy as gateway and sometimes without it, so I often have to change this setting in order to do my work so yeah, that’s recommended to me
Just for fun (and also for the simplicity of it) I’ve written the localization file for Italian language and added a fourth set of icons maybe more lovable… Of sure I haven’t redistributed my modified jar, so can I email it to you just to have a look at it?
P.S.: my apologies for my not-ever-correct english

It doesn’t currently update instantly (I haven’t worked out how to do this nicely, so if anyone has any pointers, they would be appreciated), but when you actually focus on a separate instance it should update the icon. So if I have Window 2 selected, and swap the proxy with the icon, Window 1 will still show the old state, until I select Window 1, which will then update it against the current settings.

If you have more than one window open and click the status bar icon, its’ appearance isn’t changed on all windows.

I'm not entirely sure how Citrix runs with this issue, but QuickProxy shouldn't interfere with anything. It toggles the Firefox preferences the same way as if you went into the preferences and switched the proxy off. If you have further details that I can use to chase it up, feel free to submit a bug report via the form at: http://ozzie.id.au/quickproxy/

If I were to implement something like this, I would probably include just a button (say in a popup menu over the icon) that allowed you to refresh all the tabs that are currently open.

Unless I get more people asking for it though, the other additions in progress will take priority over it.

I may have a look into doing something like this, but I’m not sure how well I’d be able to get this running, if at all.

The scope of it sounds like it would be good in one of the more complex proxy extensions, as my knowledge of how Firefox works is limited, as is the time I have to extend it.

Currently I’m working on the keyboard shortcut, and I’m making a little headway with that.

For the 2nd point, it depends on what you are after with whether I would implement the change. Currently the only other option that I was thinking of putting in was make a menu accessible by the icon that you could quick select what proxy type that you wanted. Currently I won’t touch any of the actual settings for proxies, so if you wanted an option that saved your proxy configurations, and allowed you to swap between those two, then unfortunately it won’t be implemented with QuickProxy as it is currently.

This is a very useful add-on, thank you for it. I was using it today and felt the need to be able to let the proxy active in some tabs and inactive in others. What do you think about that?

Thanks again and keep the good work!

I use QuickProxy for one year. Because i often have to forward over ssh, this plug-in have made it easy to switch to socks ports.

Maybe it would be nice to reload all tab’s that still open on activate or deactivate QuickProxy.

In my case i have to do so, because my shell connection keep its session still open, as long as connections are use forward. It seems that is not possible to forward single tabs only, but how many users still have the use for

Hello,

Great work that you’ve done with QP, congratulations ! But I’m hitting what might be a bug : even with the proxy switched off, I’m seeing side effects depending on how QP is configured (automatic .vs. manual setup).

For instance, if proxy is off & automatic configuration (URL) is chosen, CITRIX won’t start correctly. I know that this might be a CITRIX issue, but I expect no proxy interference when QP switches the proxy off.

Any place where I can fill a bug report ?

Kind regards and continue the good work.
