Hi.

I use Firefox really seldom. But if I use it, I normally use it because of the "better" proxy configuration (Chrome uses the system proxy). To have all the proxy settings just one click ahead, I use the FoxyProxy Basic AddOn.
Now comes the issue: If use a Socks proxy (doesn't really matter if I use the built-in proxy setup or the FoxyProxy AddOn) the access to my KeePass store is broken. The reason is clear: Using Socks proxies, the name resolving is done on the proxy site and there, no KeePass is running. First, I tried to add some Blacklist rules - I configured *localhost:19445* and *127.0.0.1:19445* to be not passed thru the proxy. But it seems, the name resolution is still done on proxy side or I have missed additionally needed ports.
Long text, short question: Is it possible to provide a configuration flag (and logic ;) ) letting the extension access the KeePass store directly via https instead of using the normal FF stack that is using the proxy settings?

Hopefully greets,
Holger
