title: What's the format of the DefaultConnectionSettings value in the Windows registry?
body: <p>The Windows registry key</p>
  <pre><code>HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections
  </code></pre>
  <p>contains a binary value called <code>DefaultConnectionSettings</code> that stores all sorts of data about the user's proxy configuration.</p>
  <ul>
  <li>What's the exact format of this data?</li>
  </ul>
  <p>All I have been able to find out so far is what's in <a href="http://www.visualbasicscript.com/IE-Automatically-Detect-Settings-SOLVED-m30518.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this forum post</a>, which is by no means complete and seems to be wrong in some respects.</p>
