WinHTTP Proxy Configuration Utility

When you work with ServerXMLHTTP , you need to use the WinHTTP Proxy Configuration utility (Proxycfg.exe) to access your HTTP servers through a proxy server. Proxycfg.exe updates the registry with your proxy configurations, so you must have local administrative rights on the machine before running the program. Proxycfg.exe settings are machine specific, not user specific. Note that WinHTTP proxy settings are different from Internet Explorer proxy settings. Changing your proxy settings in Internet Explorer will not affect ServerXMLHTTP.

Table 16-2 lists the parameters that Proxycfg.exe supports.
