Support autoproxy configuration (PAC) in windows HTTP uploader #232

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The Windows sender lib doesn't support PAC autoproxy configuration, since
you have to explicitly call some APIs to enable it:

It looks like it's kind of a pain in the ass.

Is it possible to use standard Internet Explorer API to send files through its 
proxy?
I think windows scripting API works just like that.

I don't know anything about the "Internet Explorer API".  The HTTP upload code 
uses
WinINET.  Docs I've seen online said WinHTTP has a similar problem, you still 
have to
do some manual work to get PAC proxies working.  Also WinHTTP is only available 
on
Win2k3 and above.
