[Laszlo-dev] [Laszlo-user] API change proposal: LzView.add/removeProxyPolicy()

[Max Carlson]

Sounds good to me!  By the way, I filed a bug to track the proxy policy 
API change: http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-6058

Can you file one for doing the same with the proxyhost attribute?  Thanks!
