Daniel,  I also am confused by the WinInet handling of proxies.  I'm using
MFC to connect to an ftp site on the other side of a SOCKS proxy. But with on
success.

I've been using INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG in my CInternetSession
constructor.  I've tried setting the proxy configuration in both IE4 and
manually in the registry, in several ways.

The weird thing is that IE4 can access the ftp site, but my code can't!

Daniel, what kind of proxy are you using?  What different things have you
tried?

Have you made any progress?

I would appreciate any information you could give me.

Thanks,

David Roussel.
