Detailed Description

Provides information about I/O (Internet, etc.

) settings chosen/set by the end user.

KProtocolManager has a heap of static functions that allows only read access to KDE's IO related settings. These include proxy, cache, file transfer resumption, timeout and user-agent related settings.

The information provided by this class is generic enough to be applicable to any application that makes use of KDE's IO sub-system. Note that this mean the proxy, timeout etc. settings are saved in a separate user-specific config file and not in the config file of the application.
