Constants
The following "Proxy Flags" may be bit-wise combined to construct the flags attribute defined on this interface. All unspecified bits are reserved for future use.
| Constant | Value | Description |
TRANSPARENT_PROXY_RESOLVES_HOST |
1 << 0 |
This flag is set if the proxy is to perform name resolution itself. If this is the case, the hostname is used in some fashion, and we shouldn't do any form of DNS lookup ourselves. |
