Comment #45 on issue 12189 by darthandroid: Retrieving the proxy settings on windows can block IO thread for seconds. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12189
I ran that program several times: With auto-config disabled, the time to return takes either 0 or 15/16msec, each about half of the time. With auto-config enabled, the time to return always takes *exactly* 6240 msec: C:\Users\Darth Android\Downloads>dump_proxy.exe Ran WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser() took 6240 millis returned 1 ie_config.fAutoDetect = 1 ie_config.lpszProxy = NULL ie_config.lpszProxyBypass = NULL ie_config.lpszAutoConfigUrl = NULL -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
