Also, I have now linked the syntax for the rule file of the comline command line options: http://www.w3.org/ComLine/User/CommandLine.html#Other It now says: Rule file, a.k.a. configuration file is a set of rules and configuration options that can be used to map URLs, and to set up other aspects of the behavior of the command line tool. Note that the address must be specified as a URI - and in fact it can be located on HTTP servers etc. as need be. File URIs are parsed relative to the current folder, so a rule file address of "rules.conf" will point to a file in the location where this tool it started. If a local file then the file suffix must be ".conf" - otherwise the media type must be application/x-www-rules. >the options.txt file contains the following > > Proxy http http://xxx.ms.com/ I had to change a line in the command line tool so that it can suck up the rules file automatically without asking the user. The patches are at http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/ComLine/src/HTLine.c?r1=1.47&r2=1.48 http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/ComLine/src/HTLine.c?r1=1.48&r2=1.49 If you get the code directly from CVS then you can just recompile. If now then you can also just set an environment variable for setting proxies: http://www.w3.org/Library/User/Using/Proxy.html Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
