New module release — Simple Table of Contents

I just released a new module for Drupal 7.x. Titled Simple Table of Contents, the module provides an easy and automatic way to add a table of contents to all of your content.

Why a new module?

There are a few other table of contents modules for Drupal, namely TableOfContents and TOC Filter. Unfortunately, besides being relatively unstable in the case of TableOfContents, there are a number of downsides to both modules, at least in certain use cases:

Configuring Drupal to use a proxy server when making external HTTP requests

The upcoming release of Drupal 7.17 adds proxy server support to drupal_http_request. This allows drupal to route all external HTTP requests, made with the drupal_http_request function, through a proxy server.

Uses

With the addition of proxy server support, core modules such as Aggregator, OpenID and Update and contrib modules such as Browscap, Media and Twitter Block can now function properly inside of a restricted environment, such as a corporate network, when configured to use an appropriate proxy.
