No, this fine component from Maurizio detects proxy info from IE using 
WinInet

The WPAD protocol is introduced for the first time by Netscape.
It uses a WPad server (part of the proxy) that can return data from the 
proxy without actually using the proxy.
basically, it's a Java script.

It allows retreiving the proxyname and port, even if there is no browser 
installed.
IE does the same when it is installed for the first time.
