NSISDL - Some questions
Is it possible to use NSISDL with a proxy which needs a logon via username/password?

Do NSISDL use the IE-Proxy-Settings?

Can NSISDL show the standard dial-up dialog, if the user is not connected to the internet?

Is it possible to make only a http-request without downloading a file?


As far as I know NSIS-dl doesn't use IE proxy settings, but that's worth a check.

To show the user a dialing dialog use DialerDLL

It is not possible to just make a HTTP request with NSIS-dl.


But it can use a proxy? I took a look at the sourcecode and there are some "proxy"-things in there.

Unfortunately it seems like nothing in there with authentication. :(

This is a feature, which is essential for my purpose.


Seems like it reads some stuff about the proxy from the registry, I guess it means it takes it from Internet Explorer... You should really test it along with the authentication to make sure.
