Method overview

Methods

applyFilter()

This method is called to apply proxy filter rules for the given URI and proxy object (or list of proxy objects).

nsIProxyInfo applyFilter(
  in nsIProtocolProxyService aProxyService,
  in nsIURI aURI,
  in nsIProxyInfo aProxy
);

Parameters

aProxyService

A reference to the Protocol Proxy Service. This is passed so that implementations may easily access methods such as newProxyInfo.

aURI

The URI for which these proxy settings apply.

aProxy

The proxy (or list of proxies) that would be used by default for the given URI. This may be null.

Return value

The proxy (or list of proxies) that should be used in place of aProxy. This can be just be aProxy if the filter chooses not to modify the proxy. It can also be null to indicate that a direct connection should be used. Use aProxyService.newProxyInfo to construct nsIProxyInfo objects.
