while looking at what you were doing i found a better command then the one you are using.

do shell script "scutil --proxy"

http_proxy is an environment variable which most command line apps use eg wget, (and i think curl)
You can see its result by typeing this in terminal
env | grep http_proxy
or
echo $http_proxy

and remove it with
unset http_proxy

i don’t think the http_proxy environment variable has anything to do with the SystemConfiguration.framework

I’m trying to change proxy server and port using applescript.

hi cirno,

it would be interesting to AppleScript this article (found by using Google!):

http://naeblis.cx/articles/2005/05/11/os-x-network-location-support-from-the-command-line

Most applications automatically pick up the new proxy configuration but some do not, like Firefox (which is one of three big reasons I still use Safari). I do a lot of work from the command line with network based tools such as curl, wget, port, http_ping, links, svn, etc. None of these use the system proxy settings but most support specifying a proxy server via the http_proxy environment variable.

cheers.
