avoid to select between different proxies

Hi,
I'm using gnome2 and tested gnome3, but I miss a very important thing.

in gnome 2 you could have a list of proxies, but in gnome 3 you can
only select 1. This is useful if you are working between different
proxies, in the new way I have to have a text document saved anywhere
with the common proxies I use.

there's some way to could have this feature in gnome 3?

thanks you much

That is unclear to me how you could have that in gnome2. Gnome 3 should
behave the same as Gnome 2 in term of proxy logic. There might be a bug
in the new proxy code now in glib-networking library. Would be nice to
provide with full scenario.

For more complex proxy settings, I usually recommend using an JavaScript
PAC file**. In your gnome setting, choose automatic, set an URI like
file:///home/me/my.pac . With a PAC file you can do a lot more, like
choosing proxies base on domain, or current subnet, etc.

** See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config.

cheers,
Nicolas

in gnome2 I have a list of proxys I usually use. The project I'm on,
is guifi.net, we have proxys all over the territory for users could
access for free to these internet connections, in my case I've got
proxys of different places configured.

I think that most users that uses regularly proxies usually use various proxies.

Proxy.pac solution is not ok, we could not have announcing proxies all
over the network, usually dummy routers could not configure proxy in
dns, and in most cases proxy.pac don't works automatically.
