[windev] Unable to query proxy "Automatically Detect Settings" flag on Windows 7 with IE 8

[JOHN A V]

Hi All,
 
I am trying to capture proxy setting 
("Automatically Detect Settings"). My code works on XP and Vista.
But it is 
NOT working on Windows 7
 
Please see the details of target 
platform
 
Windows 7 Enterprise, IE 8.0.7600.16385, 
Wininet.dll 8.0.7600.16535
 
Please see the code snippet
 
   INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST    List;
   
INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION             Option[1];
 
    unsigned long    nSize     = 
sizeof(INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST);
    Option[0].dwOption         = 
INTERNET_PER_CONN_FLAGS;
    List.dwSize                    = 
sizeof(INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST);
    List.pszConnection         = 
NULL;
    List.dwOptionCount         = 1;
    List.dwOptionError         = 
0;
    List.pOptions                 = Option;
 
    if(!InternetQueryOption(NULL, 
INTERNET_OPTION_PER_CONNECTION_OPTION, &List, &nSize))
       
AfxMessageBox(L"InternetQueryOption failed! (%d)\n");
 
    if(Option[0].Value.pszValue != NULL)
       
AfxMessageBox(Option[0].Value.pszValue);
 
     TCHAR a[100];
     swprintf(a, L"Flag value 
is : %d",Option[2].Value.dwValue, 80); 
     AfxMessageBox(a);
 

But on Windows 7, even if "Automatically Detect 
Settings" option in IE is checked, the program says that that flag is not 
set
 
I tried with WinHttp api also as shown below. 
 
WINHTTP_CURRENT_USER_IE_PROXY_CONFIG stProxyConfig 
= {0};
 
WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser(&stProxyConfig);
 
if (stProxyConfig.fAutoDetect == TRUE)
AfxMessageBox(L"Auto proxy detection 
enabled");
else
AfxMessageBox(L"Auto proxy detection 
disabled");


On Windows 7, below code also fails to capture the "Automatically Detect Settings" option
Any inputs on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks
John
