Hi Chris,
As for the proxy setting detection of .net framework application, it has
been much enhanced from .net framework 1.1 to 2.0. For .net framework 1.1,
though it by default can detect and use the system wide proxy setting(of
the internet settings ), it only pickup the static configured proxy
address, but can not use the "Automatic detecting" or "Automatic script
configuration" feature.
In .net framework 2.0, this is improved and .net framework application's
proxy detecting act identically to what the internet explorer do. Here is
a very good MSDN article describe this detailedly:
#Proxy Detection---Take the Burden Off Users with Automatic Configuration
in .NET
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/08/AutomaticProxyDetection/defau lt.aspx
for your scenario here, what you need to care about are:
** whether you want your application to use the system wide proxy server
setting(as the one IE use)
** whether your application is running under an interactive account
(internet proxy setting is per user by default)
** If you want to programmatically supplyl proxy setting or use .net
app.config file to supply proxy setting.
If you want to use system's default proxy setting, you do not need to do
anything particular in your application(unless it is running under a
non-interactive account).
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
