Need Help With One Of A Kind UDF

[drego]

You may have already seen the NetSession UDF thread. The code is really helpful for IE controls and there's no other known way to accomplish what it does. There are a few things that should be improved. The most important being able to pass proxy authentication to a proxy server using urlmon.dll or maybe some other windows API method alltogether.

Here's our thread:  '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Give it a read and be sure to check out the attempt to improve by SmOke_N: page-2#entry1220599'>page-2#entry1220599

Currently, since we have to pass proxy authentication via the URL, if the proxy requires authentication we can't access HTTPS sites with it (Apparently when using HTTPS you aren't allowed to pass auth in the URL). That's why we want to pass the auth through the DLL or any other method that will work with our embedded browser on a per-process basis.

Thank you to anyone who can help make this UDF better.

Take a look at HttpSetProxy() and see if that will handle what you need.

That function does not apply to anything that the UDF does. HttpSetProxy does not change MSIE settings. It can be used to USE those settings for non-IE functions in the script. This UDF is for assigning a proxy to individual IE embedded browsers on a per-process basis.

Instead of the IE.au3 UDF, you might consider writing your own CreateBrowserObject functions using system.net.WebClient, System.Net.NetworkCredential and System.Net.WebProxy objects.
