Austin-Soft Automatic Web Proxy Real Studio Plugin

This plugin for Real Studio developers helps your product interface with the Internet by allowing your Real Studio-developed application to easily access the proxy settings defined in the user's internet proxy settings.

Using the plugin is simple - put it in your "Plugins" directory for Real Studio, and you now have a new FillProxySettings method you can call on your HTTPSocket and HTTPSecureSocket that will automatically fill in those objects' HTTPProxyAddress and HTTPProxyPort values for you.

There's two additional APIs that you will need to know. The first, AustinSoftWebProxyRegister, is used to pass your company name and registration code to the plugin, so that it knows that you're a valid user and returns a Boolean if the registration was successful. The second, AustinSoftWebProxyVersion, returns the version number as a String value, e.g. version 1.0 would return "1.0.0" and version 1.0.1 would return "1.0.1".

API Documentation in HTML format is included with the plug-in.
