What OS? On Windows, urllib.getproxies() should get you the info you need if IE is correctly configured (and both urllib and urllib2 use this -- though the @ syntax is somewhat broken in urllib2, IIRC). Disclaimer: I never seem to have to jump through any proxy or auth hoops recently, so I'm not very reliable on this... John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
