I've seen a couple of threads here about detecting proxy settings in applets (ex: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=128&msgNo=1884). In case this helps someone out, Sun actually provided an API in 1.4 to let you hook into the plugin's proxy detection logic. The code looks like this:
// Look around for the 1.4.X plugin proxy detection class... Without it, cannot autodetect... Class t = Class.forName("com.sun.java.browser.net.ProxyService"); com.sun.java.browser.net.ProxyInfo[] pi = com.sun.java.browser.net.ProxyService.getProxyInfo(sampleURL); if (pi == null || pi.length == 0) { System.out.println("1.4.X reported NULL proxy (no proxy assumed)"); useProxy = false; } This code is from a post in the Sun forums: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=30&thread=364342 I've done a small amount of testing and it appears to work. It even parses proxy.pac files correctly.
