Change IE Proxy Without Restart..??

[cypher175]

Is there anyway to have an autoit script change IE's Proxy settings while IE is in use, and then have IE start using that proxy without first having to restart IE.??

[Juvigy]

Yes. Create a script that:

1 clicks on tools menu

2 clicks on internet options

3 Go to connections tab

4 clicks on LAN settings

5 Adjust the proxysettings you want

6 Appl and close all

7 refresh IE

That way you dont have to close the IE.

[cypher175]

so thats the only way then..??

you cant just change a few reg keys and refresh IE, you have to make a script to press buttons and stuff..??

Func Set_Proxy($Address , $Port)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer" _
, "REG_SZ", $Address & ":" & $Port)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", _
"REG_DWORD", True)
EndFunc

Func Enables_Disable($BOOL)
;$BOOL True / False
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", _
"REG_DWORD", $BOOL)
EndFunc

Hi,

Why don't you just try it?

If you have to, close iex and start it again automatically with AutoIT?

Yes. You will have to close IE and open it again for the changes to take effect.

Hi Wolf,

Any chance for enabling /desabling (the checkboxes) between Autoconfig/AutoProxy/Proxyserver settings?

The SetProxySetting Method only deals with Proxy server. What if i want to change the "automatic configuration script" setting or toggle "auto detect settings"?

I couldnt find info about that in the win32_proxy class.
