Hi Chris, I just meant decompile the plugin.jar code and take a look at what Sun does for getting proxy settings. I've never tried loading plugin.jar outside a browser. That's an interesting idea though.

When running standalone, I have the "plugin.jar" file in the classpath (it was also obviously in the classpath at compile time)... However, when standalone, it fails to load a dependent DLL.. Here's the code: package sandbox; import sun.plugin.net.proxy.*; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { WIExplorerProxyConfig wiExplorerProxyConfig = new WIExplorerProxyConfig(); BrowserProxyInfo browserProxyInfo = wiExplorerProxyConfig.getBrowserProxyInfo(); System.out.println(browserProxyInfo.getHttpHost()); } } And here's the stack trace: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: initIDs at sun.plugin.services.WinRegistry.initIDs(Native Method) at sun.plugin.services.WinRegistry.init(WinRegistry.java:113) at sun.plugin.net.proxy.WIExplorerProxyConfig.getBrowserProxyInfo(WIExplorerPro xyConfig.java:45) at sandbox.Test.main(Test.java:18) And (going over the top), here's the launch command: C:\java\jdk1.4.2\bin\java -Didea.launcher.port=7533 -Didea.launcher.library=C:\java\idea\bin\breakgen.dll -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -classpath "C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\charsets.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\jce.jar;C:\j ava\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\jsse.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\plugin.jar;C:\java\jd k1.4.2\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\sunrsasign.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4 .2\jre\lib\ext\dnsns.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\ext\ldapsec.jar;C:\java\jd k1.4.2\jre\lib\ext\localedata.jar;C:\java\jdk1.4.2\jre\lib\ext\sunjce_provid er.jar;C:\Documents and Settings\christopher.brown\IdeaProjects\SIS-Demat-Applets\classes;C:\java\pr ojects\demat-applet\java\lib\assembla_msks_jce.jar;C:\java\projects\demat-ap plet\java\lib\commons-codec-1.3.jar;C:\java\projects\demat-applet\java\lib\c ommons-httpclient-3.0-alpha2.jar;C:\java\projects\demat-applet\java\lib\comm ons-logging.jar;C:\java\idea\lib\idea_rt.jar" com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain sandbox.Test Any thoughts? Thanks, Chris I obviously need some other file in the path, but I don't know which... >From: Bruce McHaffie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Commons HttpClient Project" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "'Commons HttpClient Project'" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: Auto-detecting proxy settings in a standalone Java app >Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 09:41:57 -0400 > >Hi Chris, > >You may also want to take a look at the plugin.jar that ships with the >JRE.
