IE and Proxies

[Adrian Marsh (NNTP)]

I posted this onto the appropriate IE groups but got no reply, and am
expanding it out for comment:



I have the below script setup in my lab to sort out proxies, but I've a
problem with FTP. The script is picked up in the client by wpad

If I force proxies manually on the client then I can happily reach ftp
sites (ftp://ftp.microsoft.com has been my test), proving that ftp via
the proxy is ok. But if I switch back to wpad, then normal http
browsing works ok, but external ftp fails.

My clients IP is 172.19.242.29, which is private and should fall into
the isInNet check and the ftp request should get sent via the proxy. But
for some reason it doesn't and the client is trying to connect direct
(which fails because of the private intranet IP range)



function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
{
if (dnsDomainLevels(host)==0) {
return "DIRECT";
}

if (url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:") {

if (isInNet(myIpAddress(),"172.19.0.0","255.255.0.0")) {
return "PROXY global.proxy.lucent.com:8000;" ;
}
else {
return "DIRECT";
}
}


if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".lucent.com") ||
isInNet(host,"172.19.0.0","255.255.0.0") || dnsDomainIs(host,"
..bell-labs.com")) {
return "DIRECT" ;
}
else {
return "PROXY global.proxy.lucent.com:8000;" ;
}

}

Wrong group. Ask them in one of the scripting groups.

Configuring Internet Explorer to use proxy server has never been easier:

If you want to configure it from command line, look at:
http://ieproxycfg.50webs.com/index.html
and if you are looking for UI approch, look at:
