| ie_proxy {curl} | R Documentation |
Lookup and mimic the system proxy settings on Windows as set by Internet Explorer. This can be used to configure curl to use the same proxy server.

url with host for which to lookup the proxy server |
The ie_proxy_info function looks
up your current proxy settings as configured in IE under "Internet Options"
> "Tab: Connections" > "LAN Settings". The ie_get_proxy_for_url
determines if and which proxy should be used to connect to a particular
URL. If your settings have an "automatic configuration script" this
involves downloading and executing a PAC file, which can take a while.
