Proxy support to download new Webdriver

[Diego]

On my business PC, when I tried in the office where we are behind an http proxy, the automatic download of a new Webdriver failed.

I had no time to analyze the problem but I suspect that it's because the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP60 object used for that download isn't configured to use the (or at least that) proxy.

Here I read that "XMLHTTP automatically detects proxy settings provided through a proxy.pac file (good)"

I remember that years ago my company used the "proxy.pac" but now the (easy) way to look at it again is disabled.

Unfortunately I can't further check what happened now because I'm on holidays far from the office.
