excel vba - VBA Proxy auto-configuration for http requests -
i need build client web api in vba , needs work behind proxy (with authentication). i've been looking @ winhttp.winhttprequest , msxml2.xmlhttp/serverxmlhttp classes. turns out that:
- xmlhttp automatically detects proxy settings provided through proxy.pac file (good)
- winhttprequest doesn't (bad)
however, on other hand:
- xmlhttp automatically follows redirects, , there's no way of disabling behaviour (bad)
- winhttprequest doesn't (good)
since i'd able have cake , eat it, there way automatic proxy configuration component such winhttprequest doesn't follow redirects blindly?
the vba-web project might pastry eating problem.

i guess wish go like:
dim client new webclient client .baseurl = "https://www.google.com" .proxyusername = <user> .proxypassword = <password> .enableautoproxy = true end dim request new webrequest request .method = webmethod.httpget .format = webformat.plaintext end dim response webresponse set response = client.execute(request)
