unfortunately our users insist on using safari and i can not force them to
switch to firefox, but they can in return force me to switch the proxy what i
definetly do not want to do (they are the directors of our institute!)
right now i created as workaround a package which the users should simply
install, this installs a local squid proxy on their macs which forwards all
requests to our central proxy. but i really hope for another solution!
