After doing some footwork, I'm still puzzled as to how to do this best, but here's a few interesting things: * You can use proxycfg.exe to set WinHTTP proxy settings, which consequently affects Shoes (even Raisins.) * You use "proxycfg -u" to copy IE's proxy settings to WinHTTP. * The function WinHttpGetProxyForUrl will read PAC settings. I'll probably use this function. * It has an auto-proxy setting that reads the PAC url through DHCP, is that a common way to get proxy settings, I guess? _why
