New: Proxy Get Utility

John T. Haller's picture
Submitted by John T. Haller on February 12, 2006 - 8:54pm

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:
http://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.exe

Source here:
http://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.nsi

It's a small 50k 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 Smiling

Regards,
John

Great idea!

Is it open source?

This is What I need

phillyboy - March 1, 2006 - 4:30pm

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?

derekthegeek - March 2, 2006 - 1:11pm

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

- DTG

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:
http://portableapps.com/downloads/ProxyGet.nsi

I like this but...

cavedeamon - August 27, 2006 - 2:59pm

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

mjcarman - November 15, 2006 - 12:07pm

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

Autoproxy patch

mjcarman - November 15, 2006 - 12:43pm

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.

how would one implement this

meanhoe - November 16, 2006 - 10:03pm

how would one implement this patch?

Use "patch"

mjcarman - November 20, 2006 - 12:47pm
  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.
