With native .NET I see only a call to WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl. Does it work on a Windows machine in your home network?
I would expect it to fall back to importing proxy settings from IE. Did you try installing native IE yet? That will also give you a dialog to configure the proxy...
Regarding your changes to WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl I'd like to propose simple solution for custom auto-configuration script URLs. Choose any (probably wine specific) registry location for storing wpad auto-configuration script URL and in WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl firstly check if this registry entry is present and return it otherwise use current behavior.
I think it will be useful, because it gave user more freedom of placing wpad script. Moreover custom URL is for example used in our company network.
