ie_proxy: Internet Explorer proxy settings

ie_proxyR Documentation

Internet Explorer proxy settings

Description

Lookup and mimic the system proxy settings on Windows as set by Internet Explorer. This can be used to configure curl to use the same proxy server.

Usage

ie_proxy_info()

ie_get_proxy_for_url(target_url = "http://www.google.com")

Arguments

target_url

url with host for which to lookup the proxy server

Details

The ie_proxy_info function looks up your current proxy settings as configured in IE under "Internet Options" under "LAN Settings". The ie_get_proxy_for_url determines if and which proxy should be used to connect to a particular URL. If your settings have an "automatic configuration script" this involves downloading and executing a PAC file, which can take a while.
