Comment #47 on issue 12189 by [email protected]: Retrieving the proxy settings on windows can block IO thread for seconds. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12189
eroman: I'm wondering if WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser tries to get lpszAutoConfigUrl if fAutoDetect is true. See the following excerpt from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384075(VS.85).aspx : Setting the Proxy Configuration on a Single Request Before the session is created, the application calls WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser to determine if WinINet and IE are configured to use WPAD. WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser returns the WINHTTP_CURRENT_USER_IE_PROXY_CONFIG structure that contains the fAutoDetect member. A value of TRUE for this member indicates that WPAD is used, and the lpszAutoConfigUrl member contains the WPAD URL. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
