http:open_options/2

[nondet,multifile]http:open_options(+Parts, -Options)

This hook is used by the HTTP client library to define default options based on the the broken-down request-URL. The following example redirects all trafic, except for localhost over a proxy:

:- multifile
    http:open_options/2.

http:open_options(Parts, Options) :-
    option(host(Host), Parts),
    Host \== localhost,
    Options = [proxy('proxy.local', 3128)].

This hook may return multiple solutions. The returned options are combined using merge_options/3 where earlier solutions overrule later solutions.
