Proxy Server Selection Order
I've got a follow-up question to the one asked in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/a92d8eb9-bb21-4b16-afd4-ea9581b7b882
Alex's explanation matches my experience as well but I was wondering if someone could point me to an "official" Microsoft KB or MSDN/TechNet article that explains the order in which proxy servers are selected by Windows. For example, if I have
populated all three options:
- Automatically detect settings - Checked
- Use automatic configuration script - Checked, Address populated to valid PAC file and
- Manual proxy server specified - 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' checked and address and port specified
Is proxy selection processed in that order listed above?
Thanks!
PS: I hope this is an appropriate forum for this query.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the order listed above is correct.
However, sorry to say that I am not aware of any official article does mention this.
