Currently wine tries to automatically detect proxy.
It will:
- use env vars (http_proxy)
- try to detect automatic settings (wpad)
One can easily disable env vars unsetting them or make them empty (since wine 3.9). However, there is easy no way to disable automatic detection without directly editing registry (it is a binary entry) or installing IExplorer.
winecfg could have a tab or wine could have a new tool to set proxy settings, just like windows control panel applet. However, it should have an extra setting from what Windows already have: "Use system environment values".
We'd like to defer editing of proxy settings to the host system as much as possible. Wine is just another application.
Why would you want to disable wpad in Wine only?
