Re: gnome-ftp library

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Probably use gnome_config_get_string and use a key something like
/Gnome/Proxies/ftp-proxy.  This will make gnome-ftp dependent on libgnome,
which may or may not be a good thing.

gnome-http doesn't link with libgnome, and leaves all configuration type
stuff up to the user of the library (using ghttp_set_proxy).  Each method
has its advantages and disadvantages.

I guess it is really the choice of the implementor, in how much work do
you want left to the program and how much to the library.
