Hi,

Is it possible to detect the proxy settings in use by a browser when running
an applet?
I need to do an HTTP get/post and our clients sit behind a proxy.

Cheers,

Steve

Roedy,

Yes, I managed to get that far, but how are we supposed to know the proxy
server ip or name at runtime?
We have upwards ot 10,000 client sconnecting through many different proxies.
There must be some way to detect these setting when the applet starts up?

I would have hoped Java would interrogate the OS and set them for you.

I guess all you can do is have the user configure them in a properties
file or gui.
