Not a big thing, actually for me it is. I am always struggling with
proxy settings. It requires a lot of different incantations to be
done, every program deals with it differently, support for platform
settings is flaky, ... Grails deals with this is a way which
pleasantly surprised me :
> grails add-proxy <name> --host=<hostname> --port=<portno> e.g. grails add-proxy client --host=proxy --port=3128
allows you to create a setting for a proxy and bind it to a name. It
also supports username/password. Switching to the setting involves
only
> grails set-proxy client
to enable the proxy setting, and
> grails clear-proxy
when I get back in a transparent environment. (for completeness there
is a **remove-proxy** command which is useful to remove those
passwords after the need has passed). I particularly impressed  that
this was done in a simple and straightforward without the need fo
brain gymnastics trying to remember which arcane curse needs to be put
at what location in which file. Nice.
