JRE / IE proxy.pac configurations

843798Jun 16 2009
hy all,
i'm facing a problem with JRE on windows platform and IE, using pac file.
My IE browser is configured with a URL pac file, setting deployed through registry key in HKLM ... \Internet Setting\AutoConfigUrl.
Value is similar to: AutoConfigUrl = http://<webserver>/proxy.pac
I'm using a web application based on Java applets. IE setting is set to use Sun Java VM.
Sun VM parameters for network configurations are set to "use browser settings".
When launching my application, Java is unable to load proxy settings, I can see a "proxy=DIRECT" message in java console (with logging enabled).
So application is not working ....
Is this a known behaviour for JRE? any version correcting this maybe?
I find a workaround, working for single tests, but nearly unable to apply for deployement: If I create a registry key AutoConfigUrl located in HKCU (in addition with the HKLM one), then JRE is able to gather proxy settings, and I can see the right proxy configuration message in java console.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot for any response.

Olivier
