Proxies, and Network preferences

First of all a comment: Chimera is the best browser for me on OSX.
Second comment: The navigation panel suggests opening internet preferences for proxies. This is the wrong preference pane to open: it should be network preferences.
Third comment: While chimera correctly picks up on the proxy setting, it does NOT take account of the `bypass proxies' setting. This is important for mixed environments where you are inside a firewall and need to access both internal networks and external networks.
To add some fuel to this: IE does handle this correctly.

Yes, I agree that ignoring bypass proxy is a nuisance. Requests for some of my internal sites get bounced by our proxy. Having said that Chimera is still my browser of choice. It does pretty much all I want a browser to do and not a lot that I don't want it to do.

Even more of a nuisance is not supporting automatic proxy configurations. There is no workaround for this save using Mozilla.

There's actually a bug filed for this....by yours truly actually.

To light some fire under it, go here and add some comments about how important this is to you. :-)
