Internet Explorer Proxy Configuration Tool

Background and Introduction

I developed the ieProxyCfg as a tool as a part of my automation tools series. Using this tool from command line should provide a complete automated replacement for opening up Tools->Internet Options...->Connections and modifing the proxy settings there.

I developed this tool in January 2004, and now, at March 2006 I decided to give it to the public.

The tool is provided as-is without it's source code. You can use it. You can distribute it. You can delete it. I dont care. Just dont come to me and complain if something goes wrong.

Usage

Internet Explorer Proxy Configuration Tool

Syntax :
ieProxyCfg [ set [ {connection name} | [lan] {ip address} {port}] | clear [ {connection name} | [lan] ] | list ]

Examples:
1. Display a list of all the current proxy settings.
ieProxyCfg list
2. Define a proxy ( 100.101.102.103 on port 8080 ) for the LAN.
ieProxyCfg set lan 100.101.102.103 8080
3. Clear the proxy settings for the LAN.
ieProxyCfg clear lan
