# pseudo-code for proxy selection
## Suppose we have 6 proxy definitions + Default:
### Proxy foo1
a. http proxy on 123.123.123.123:8080
b. username/password auth
b. whitelist pattern "*.google.com"
c. blacklist pattern "foo.google.com"
### Proxy foo2
a. socks proxy on 999.999.99.999:1080
b. username/password auth
c. whitelist pattern "*.facebook.com"
### Proxy foo3
a. PAC at https://192.168.1.1/proxy.pac
b. no username/password auth
c. whitelist pattern "*.internalstuffs.zzz" (intranet address)
### Proxy foo4
a. PAC at https://192.168.1.2/proxy.pac
b no username/password auth
c. whitelist pattern "*.internalstuffs.yyy" (intranet address)
### Proxy foo5
a. System settings
b. no username/password auth (no applicable for system settings anyway)
c. whitelist pattern "*.bar.com"
### Proxy foo6
a. WPAD (auto-detect, not supported by Firefox proxyAPI right now)
b. no username/password auth (no applicable for system settings anyway)
c. whitelist pattern "*.bar.com"
### Default
a. Set to DIRECT (no proxy)
b. no username/password auth
c. no patterns -- not supported by FoxyProxy
## User sets mode to "patterns"
### Suppose URL about to be loaded by browser is https://www.google.com/
http proxy on 123.123.123.123:8080 is used to load the URL
```const proxySettings = {
proxyType: "manual",
http: "http://123.123.123.123:8080",
httpProxyAll: true,
autoLogin: true
};
proxy.settings.set(proxySettings)```
### Suppose URL about to be loaded by browser is https://foo.google.com/
This matches the blacklist pattern in proxy `foo1`. Blacklist patterns take precedence
over whitelist patterns. So `foo1` is not used to load this URL. The other proxy patterns
are checked. None match, so `Default` is used.
```const proxySettings = {
proxyType: "none",
autoLogin: true,
httpProxyAll: true // I don't know if this is necessary but cannot hurt
};
proxy.settings.set(proxySettings)```
### Suppose URL about to be loaded by browser is https://www.facebook.com/index.html
socks proxy on 999.999.99.999:1080 is used to load the URL
### Suppose URL about to be loaded by browser is https://internalstuffs.zzz/payroll/my-paycheck.pdf
https://192.168.1.1/proxy.pac is used to load the URL. FoxyProxy doesn't know what this PAC
is doing. Maybe it has its own URL pattern matching, maybe not. Does not matter.
```const proxySettings = {
autoConfigUrl: pacUrl that user specified
autoLogin: true,
httpProxyAll: true // I don't know if this is necessary but cannot hurt
};
proxy.settings.set(proxySettings)```
