Where does Adobe AIR look for the proxy settings in Ubuntu Linux

Question

I am building an AIR app that makes a call to a remote server within the company network

The Adobe AIr runtime seems to be looking at the proxy settings of the OS.I have added the location to the No_proxy variable in bashrc under my user id.

whenever i call adl to run the code it seems to be accessing the proxy server , causing time out problems and Actionscript ioError 2032

Where are the proxy settings in Ubuntu Ibex that Adobe AIR runtime seems to be accessing and can we add a no_proxy to that to avoid hitting the proxy server

From Ashutosh Sharma:

We've decided to use the current desktop environment's proxy settings, with the option of having these overridden with an environment variable.

On KDE, proxy settings can be set using kcontrol (KDE Control Center). On GNOME, these can be set using gnome-network-preferences (or directly using gconf-editor).

I've just discovered that, as so often, the proxies have to be set manually, not using a .pac file.
