WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy is empty.

Sam Santiago

I am using the WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy() function to read the IE settings, but it's returning an empty WebProxy object. Are there any known reasons why this is not reading the proxy settings in IE 6?

Thanks,

Sam

It should.. Which version of the framework are you using? 1.1 or 2.0

What is your IE Settings ?
GoTo Tools-> InternetOptions -> Connections-> lansettings

Are you using any config files?

Do you mean that you are getting
webProxy.GetDefaultWebProxy = null

or
WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy().Address as null

For the later to return a value the Tools-> InternetOptions ->
Connections-> lansettings->proxyServer has to be explicitly set

This is with the .NET framework 1.1. I did set the settings in IE in the
correct location. The returned WebProxy object in not null, but none of the
settings from IE are in it. As if the proxy settings in IE were not set.

Thanks,

Sam
