Setting preferences in vimperator

I found out recently that vimperator has builtin commands to set preferences from its command line.

So, for example:

set! network.proxy.http = ‘myproxy.com’

followed by

set! network.proxy.type = 1

will switch on an existing http proxy.

Things are slightly different if you want to do things from javascript addons. Here you need to use the XPCOM interfaces. The following javascript code adds a noproxy command to clear your proxy settings.

js <<EOF
commands.addUserCommand(['noproxy'],
    'Switch off proxy',
    function (args) {
        pref.setIntPref('network.proxy.type', 0);
    },
    {},
    true
);
EOF
