fetch IE proxy port number? Topic is solved

[joshatt]

Hi,

I know IE proxy is automatically used on other connections. But I still want to fetch the current proxy setting, (so that: while other softwares go through PAC with the current proxy, this specific ahk script will go through "global" current proxy) it's always 127.0.0.1, so I guess I want the port number.

I checked my registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\
did not find any "proxy" or my current proxy port "7080" or "7081".

Any idea?

Appreciate any help.

you use AHK function regread

Code: Select all

; RegRead, OutputVar, KeyName [, ValueName]
RegRead, OutputVar1, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings, ProxyServer,
RegRead, OutputVar2, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings, Proxyenable,
MsgBox, Proxy Server: %OutputVar1%  | Status: %OutputVar2%

Works like a charm. Thanks a lot!
