Proxy Get Utility 1.2

I put together a quick utility that will pull the proxy info for the current PC and display it on-screen. This way, if you don't have access to the Internet Connections properties, you can still get the proxy info for getting Portable Firefox, Gaim, etc working.

Get it here:
https://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.exe

Source here:
https://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.7z

It's a small 90k EXE. It's portable. Just run it and a message box will pop up with all the proxy settings you need (including ports).

I'm planning on building this functionality into a later version of the launchers but thought I'd release it stand-alone for now so people can utilize it.

And if you use the code for something... please let me know Smile

Regards,
John

The name was inverted. I fixed it.

This is What I need

This is what I need. Can we see the source-code. What language is this utility written in?

I guess that it is written

I guess that it is written in NSIS as all of the portable apps on this site are.

What is NSIS?

I have seen a lot of postings on NSIS. Is it a language? Scripting/Compiled?

NSIS is a scripting language

NSIS is a scripting language mainly designed for writing installers but it is also fast and portable enough to be use to write full applicatios. See more here

Really Simple

It's actually really simple. Just a quick read from Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and then messing with the string to make it display prettily.

Here's the source:
https://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.nsi

I like this but...

I like this but I was lucky enough to get my schools proxy ip before they blocked the settings in IE

If I can't get it at school I save it to my flashdrive and take it with me.

Doesn't work with autoconfig proxies

ProxyGet can report "no proxy enabled" when the system is actually using an autoconfig proxy. See my comments at https://portableapps.com/node/3441#comment-17000

Autoproxy patch

Here's a patch to add in support for autoproxy detection. It works for me, but I don't have access to enough systems (with different proxy settings) to fully test it.

Use "patch"
  1. Download the source for ProxyGet. (link above)
  2. Apply the patch with the "patch" program. For such a simple change you could edit in the changes by hand using a text editor.
  3. Extract the program icon from the executable. (I used IcoFX.)
  4. Recompile the source (and icon) with NSIS.

I had hoped that by posting the patch here John would apply it and release a new version.

Version 1.2

I made an overdue update to add support for auto config URLs as suggested above as well as cleaning up the code and presentation.
