Automatically detect settings #53

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

"Automatically detect settings" is a useful feature in IE (Internet Options - 
Connections - LAN settings - Automatic configuration), which is very helpful 
for configuring proxy in intranet automatically, especially valuable for 
wireless LAN. It is similar with the existing feature -- Auto Config URL -- 
in Proxy Switchy. However, it even does not need the user to know the 
configuration URL, but download and apply the configuration automatically.
I think this feature should and can be included in Proxy Switchy. Thanks.

Without this option the new windows live messenger (2011) can't connect to the 
internet. We have a very restrictive internet policy at our university, which 
might be the main cause for this, but enabling proxy, but without the 
"Automatically detect settings" it is not possible to connect.
thx

It's a very useful feature both for users and system admins and shall b 
implemented in PS. Also this need no any additional coding xcept setting one 
more value (or pair of) in a registry -- the rest will b done by OS itself :)

Same here. When switching from direct connection (no proxy) to manual config, 
the Automatically Detect Settings box is cleared. When switching back to direct 
connection, Auto Detect Settings is not re-enabled. This really should be part 
of the proxy setup, especially if the extension is taking the step of clearing 
the box anyway.

Excellent product, thanks much!

I would also like to be able to do this when switching back to 'direct 
connection'. Is this possible to do yet?
