If a user has set proxy settings in IE, does the Web tool read the settings and use them? Is there a setting to have the web tool do this or do I have to read the registry and make the settings manually?

Hi,
If you do not specify the Proxy Properties, the Http control will automatically use the settings specified in IE.

Ken:
 What then is the best way to ignore the registry proxy settings and not use a proxy regardless of the registry values? If I set the proxy to a blank string ( vs 'do not specify') are the registry settings ignored? Or do I have to create a dart string object load a '*' string and pass that to proxybypass to ensure a proxy is not used? I need to have the options of no proxy, IE settings, or passed values. TIA

Hi,
It is not possible to ignore them. You would actually have to save the registry settings, clear them, do your request, and then replace the settings. 
Setting Proxy to a blank string would not work, and Proxybypass has never worked, due to a limitation in wininet.
Sorry,
