Incorrect proxy port setup in IE #3

Closed flerro closed 9 years ago

ProxySwitcher fails to correctly setup the system-wide proxy port.

screenshot 2_112114_025216_pm

How to reproduce Using the Internet Explorer action, setup 8080 as proxy port. When the configured action is triggered I get 80 as proxy port in IE.

Verified on: Windows 8.1 x64

Hi, I've just tried to reproduce the issue, but it seems to work. Not only on Win8.1 but also on Windows 10. Are you using version 3.6.1? Maybe it is only the case for this special setup, so can you please try it with e.g. bla.com as the proxy url, click Save then Re-Detect Network. Then open up the IE proxy settings again.

I tried with a different port (1234) with no luck but I did not give up.

Uninstalled and re-installed the program and now proxy configuration port seems to be correctly set up.

Thanks

Hmm, ok, strange, but I'm glad it works now.
