Respect web proxy environment settings

[Massimo-B]

Just like https://sourceforge.net/p/gsoap2/bugs/1115/, KDSoap could respect the http_proxy https_proxy and no_proxy environment settings in order to make the user configure the proxy later. Currently this can only be done outside of KDSoap by setting the QNetworkProxy. This was mentioned in #99.

However for the kdwsdl compiler this issue becomes more inconvenient, when it tries to download included xsd code:

kdwsdl2cpp -o Extensions.h Extensions.wsdl 
Warning: Definitions: unknown tag wsp:UsingPolicy

Warning: PortType: unknown tag wsp:Policy
Warning: Operation: unknown tag wsp:Policy
No service tag found in the wsdl file, generating one service per binding

However this could be worked around using some wrapper like tsocks.

IMHO that's Qt's job.

But actually, it looks like qtbase/src/network/kernel/qnetworkproxy_generic.cpp already queries these env vars. This just needs to be enabled.

Can you test if adding
QNetworkProxyFactory::setUseSystemConfiguration(true);
in kdwsdl2cpp's main fixes it? I guess I could merge that in.

I changed main like this:

I rerun both kdwsdl2cpp for .h and .cpp, recompiled, but it did not work eventhough the environment is set:

$ env |grep prox
https_proxy=http://proxy:8080
http_proxy=http://proxy:8080
no_proxy=10.0.0.0/8,127.0.0.1,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.20.0/24

Isn't setUseSystemConfiguration(true) the default anyway?

Hi, I still need to set the proxy manually and the environment settings are ignored:

    m_service.clientInterface()->setProxy(proxy);

[Massimo-B]

Hi, in applications using QNetworkAccessManager it's possible to do

m_networkAccessManager.proxyFactory()->setUseSystemConfiguration(true);

In KDSOAP I only found

QNetworkProxy KDSoapClientInterface::proxy 	() 

Is there any way to get access to the QNetworkProxyFactory ?
