External web proxy

Start from v1.3.0, Curly Turtle has a feature to integrate itself to an external web proxy such as Glype. In case you can not visit a search result directly, you can conveniently visit it through the external proxy.

In order to use this feature, you have to set up a web proxy separately, which is out of Curly Turtle's business. So if you know how to do it, read on, or you may consider to learn to set up that (tutorials all over the web).

In Curly Turtle's settings page, you can find a text box says "External web proxy". Fill the text box with the URL of your external web proxy, and put %c in where the original URL would be, pretty much like Chrome's search engine setting. For example, if you are using Glype, and the URL is https://www.example.com/glype/. Then the text box may be https://www.example.com/glype/browse.php?u=%s.

When you have the above settings, you will see a button says "Open in external proxy" in each result. So when you find problems loading a search result, try using your external proxy in one click with this button.

In addition, you can set an external proxy on the whole program, which means every client will have that setting by default. This can be overwritten by the client-specific setting. To use it, rather use the --extproxy command line option, or extproxy: key in configuration file.
