HttpSetProxy? WTH?

[miketh2005]

I'm using something like this:

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
HttpSetProxy(2, "75.73.29.14:25697")
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.showmyip.com")

ofc, thats not the full code.

When the GUI opens, it still shows my IP, not the IP of the proxy, though...

What's going on? Am I using the function wrong?

Yes you are. HttpSetProxy only changes the proxy AutoIt uses for InetGet.

Hi,

so you need to use the internet through a proxy and you want Autoit to send all http data via proxy?

What about changing the settings in your IE?

Hi. Thanks for the replies. Yes, I want the bot to connect to the internet and be like an internet browser, THROUGH a proxy. Anyway to do that? Thanks.

You'll have to change your global proxy settings. I'm looking around right now for a way to do this in code that doesn't just involve automating the Internet Options dialog.

Ok I found two registry entries you can try changing.

RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", 1)
RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", "75.73.29.14:25697")

Just save the original values somewhere so you can set it back.

[miketh2005]

Ohhh. Thanks. So can I use this code now, and when the bot exits, just put

RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyDisable", "REG_DWORD", 1)

? Thanks alot, your a life-saver I was going to have to automate the Internet Options dialog, like you said

[Richard Robertson]

No, you would set ProxyEnable to 0.

Hey I just found this and was going through the same thing as the creator of this topic... And though I might bring it back to life.....

I obviously have a few questions

I can get this half to work

RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", 1)
RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", "75.73.29.14:25697")

So it will set a proxy for me but the more important half in my book shutting off the proxy will not work

RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyDisable", "REG_DWORD", 1)

this dosnt work for me what could I do to make it work thank you

[somdcomputerguy]

Did you read the post right before yours, Medic873?

No, you would set ProxyEnable to 0.

[Medic873]

Now it all makes since thank you so much

[somdcomputerguy]

You bet. Good luck.

[Medic873]

It still looks like it isnt taking the proxy off.....

It still looks like it isnt taking the proxy off.....

Try adding this after your RegWrite commands to force it to refresh the proxy details:

DllCall('WININET.DLL', 'long', 'InternetSetOption', 'int', 0, 'long', 39, 'str', 0, 'long', 0)
