in reply to Finding Internet Explorer proxy config

Jeppe,

I believe that IE uses the environent variables for its proxy configuration, the variable 'HTTP_proxy' etc, type set from a command line to see all of these. The code below, adapted from lwpcook (under Proxies), should be of use to you.
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->env_proxy; # initialize from environment variables

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'wais://xxx.com/');
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

Update: As Ieronim has pointed out here my belief is wrong :)

Hope this helps.

    Unfortunaly, Internet Explorer does not use the HTTP_proxy environment variable. It fetches all info from Windows Registry :(
