Trevor,

Unfortunally, the windows based proxy servers don't works anytime (some times yes, sometimes no) as expected in the situation you are describing, even if your server-side forms are well formed, aka including the needed metatags :

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">

This problem will never occur if the proxy is set in using an unix OS, mac os x and linux included.

Best,


I'm interested in hearing what people are doing (if anything) for proxy detection on Windows. Here is the situation I am up against.

I have an app which grabs data from the web on occasion. Detecting and setting proxy settings on Windows is fine if they have manually configured IE since the settings show up in the registry.

The big problem occurs when the computers are behind a proxy server and the computers are getting their proxy server info automatically from the server (from something like a .pac file). Windows doesn't seem to store this info in the registry.

I have a way for users to manually configure their proxy settings but in one environment users will be moving to different offices with their laptops and proxy settings will change based on their IP subnet. Asking these (very) non-technical folks to configure every time they movie creates obvious problems. Anyone have any insight on how to detect proxy settings under any circumstances?

Thanks,
