Does QTWebkit initialize proxy setting from the system variable if provided?

[sushmacr]

Hello All,

I have a browser which is working with proxy settings (::setHostName(), ::setPort()) and QNetworkAccessManager setProxy() done in the browser implementation code.
I want to use the http_proxy environment variable for setting the proxy instead of performing the setting in the browser implementation code. If hostName or port number needs to change then it will need code recompiling where as "export http_proxy=" can be done from command line.
Does QTWebkit initialize from the system variable if provided?

if you want to read system wide setting, first get it from OS, then set it thru setProxy()..

How do i get the parameters from OS, specifically hostname and port number?
