Hi Tony,

HttpClient does not have built-in support for auto proxy discovery. You could certainly perform a GET on the URL and parse or execute the contained JavaScript (that's what it usually is I think). Good luck.

I came to the Commons HttpClient after much heartache with the standard Java
Http classes. I have a question, is it possible to get the Common HttpClient
to auto discover the appropriate proxy setting based on the supplied url?
i.e. check proxy override lists mainly.


P.S. I am still using RC1 and am about to upgrade to that latest.
