InternetInitializeAutoProxyDll function (wininet.h)

There are two WinINet functions named InternetInitializeAutoProxyDll. The first, which merely refreshes the internal state of proxy configuration information from the registry, has a single parameter as documented directly below.

The second function, prototyped as pfnInternetInitializeAutoProxyDll, is part of WinINet's limited autoproxy support, and must be called by dynamically linking to "JSProxy.dll".

Syntax

BOOL InternetInitializeAutoProxyDll(
  [in] DWORD dwReserved
);

Parameters

[in] dwReserved

This parameter is reserved and must be 0.

Return value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Because the InternetInitializeAutoProxyDll function takes time to complete its operation, it should not be called from a UI thread.

Like all other aspects of the WinINet API, this function cannot be safely called from within DllMain or the constructors and destructors of global objects.

Note  WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP).
