Proxy Settings Stored

internetnetworkingPROXY

I'm coding a small application that connects to the Internet and retrieves information from my server using bsd socket. I looked at where the proxy settings are stored under Linux but i couldn't the file containing this information.

I just want to find that file, so I can read the proxy settings from it and use these settings in my application.

They're in the $http_proxy, $https_proxy and $ftp_proxy environment variables. Also, $no_proxy contains a comma-separated list of host patterns for which no proxy is used. For example:

http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:3128/
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,*.example.com
