And 2 more questions! Sorry for forgetting them
7. What method should I use to extract the user's http proxy preferences
from your browser... we support an option for the user to use
"the same proxy as my browser uses" .
8. We give the user an option to add real.com and possibly other
multimedia sites as a bookmark in their browser. Do you share the
netscape bookmark file, or should this be done in a different way.
Thanks again, and looking forward to fruitful cooperation!
