Class OsxProxySearchStrategy

java.lang.Object

com.github.markusbernhardt.proxy.search.desktop.osx.OsxProxySearchStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

ProxySearchStrategy

public class OsxProxySearchStrategy
extends Object
implements ProxySearchStrategy

Loads the OSX system proxy settings from the settings file.

All settings are stored in OSX in a special XML file format. These settings file are named plist files and contain nested dictionaries, arrays and values.

To parse this file we use a parser that is derived from a plist parser that comes with the xmlwise XML parser package:

http://code.google.com/p/xmlwise/

I modified that parser to work with the default Java XML parsing library.

The plist file is located on OSX at:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
