the process "proxy" is not looking for wpad.dat file #82

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Execute the sample program "proxy".
2. Monitor HTTP traffic for that process.
3. There is no request for WPAD file from the host.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

If I set "Auto Detect Proxy Settings" in Firefox, then whenever I start FF 
there will be a request for the wpad.dat file from FF.
But there is no such request going from the process "proxy".

OS: Windows Vista.
Product version: revision 550 in trunk

Also, the sample program is saying proxy is "direct://", whereas FF is fetching 
the 
wpad.dat file and working through proxy.

Can  you provide me a screen-shot of the "LAN settings" dialog which shows your
current configuration?

1) It should not matter. Because if I am writing a program which has a option 
"Auto 
detect proxy settings", like Firefox does, then I should be calling the 
"px_proxy_factory_get_proxies" function. So, it is irrelevant what is set in 
the LAN 
settings. The applications can have an option like "Auto detect proxy settings".

2) Anyway I have attached the screenshot.

1. Your program should not provide proxy settings.  It should rely on the global
system's proxy settings.  This is what libproxy uses.  Providing per-application
proxy settings is beyond the scope of libproxy.

2. Ok, your configuration is correct.  Let me do some testing to see if there 
is a bug.

This should be fixed now.  Please try the latest trunk.
