The docs don't seems very clear to me. Have look at
I think you should, like with most DLL calls that return a variable amount of data. There's also lpdwProxyHostNameLength. Mostly when you call such functions with a nil pointer and/or zero length the function will return the length of the buffer that the caller has to allocate before calling it a second time with a non-nil pointer to an allocated piece of memory.
