Does the WebBrower support the "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" options from the Internet Properties/Local Area Network (LAN) Settings in the Control Panel? A customer of ours has tried this and it doesn't seem to respect those settings. Version 18.3.46.0 of Essential Objects is being used.

Hi,

It should work the same way as Google Chrome browser and I believe Google Chrome browser does support this by default. The only option we have on top of the browser engine is to provide you an interface to override this. So if you have explicitly set proxy in your code, then all the default behavior will be skipped and that could cause problem for you.

Thanks!

It was reported by one of our customers that the proxy configuration script is not working if multiple entries are returned from the FindProxyForURL method in the script. For example, if return "PROXY webproxy.samres.local:3128; DIRECT" is returned from the method, it never goes to the proxy and always goes direct. If return "PROXY webproxy.samres.local:3128" is returned from the method, it correctly uses the proxy. Chrome and IE work correctly using the same configuration script with multiple entries.

Hi,

You can update to the latest build and see if it works. Because our product is based on Chromium, which is the same engine that powers Google Chrome, it should have the same behavior as Google Chrome. However since Chromium and Google Chrome is constantly evolving, some features may exist or work differently in a newer version than in an older version. That can cause some discrepancies between EO.WebBrowser and Google Chrome. Your version EO.WebBrowser is based on Chromium V62. The current version of EO.WebBrowser is based on Chromium V70. The current version of Google Chrome is based on V75. We will refresh our Chromium version around year end.

Thanks
