getClientVersion function

  • Article

Gets the version of the WPAD processing engine.

Parameters

IpAddressList

A semi-colon delimited string containing IP addresses.

Return value

A list of sorted semi-colon delimited IP addresses or an empty string if unable to sort the IP Address list.

Remarks

Currently this function returns version 1.0.

Microsoft added this function to allow IT administrators to update their WPAD scripts to use different versions of the WPAD processing engine without causing breaks to their existing deployment. For example, if Microsoft added a function to the 2.0 version of the WPAD engine, then administrators can check the version before attempting to call that function. This allows their script to work with client running versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the WPAD engine.

Examples

getClientVersion();
    returns the appropriate versions number of the WPAD engine.
