Eclipse Galileo Proxy detection by URL

Question

In earlier versions of Eclipse I was able to add an URL to auto detect the proxy settings. How can I tell Eclipse to use an Auto Proxy Configuration URL?

Answer 1

If you refer to the "old" (3.3) setting:

The new setting also allows for:

• PAC (Proxy Auto Configuration), mode "Native" (default since 3.4, even though that still have some bug like Bug 257443)
• Manual proxy settings, mode "Manual"
