Can you run the following commands from a Cygwin command prompt?

regtool get \
 /HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyEnable

regtool get \
 /HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyServer

I recently modified tools/win32-setup.sh to try to determine proxy settings
automatically, under the assumption that if IE is using a proxy then we should too.
 
 
Reading the registry using regedit I find that:
ProxyEnable is 1 (as expected since my IE settings indicate to use a proxy).
ProxyServer is set to the proxy setting made in IE settings.
 
Are you sure that you are able to read the information correctly from the registry?
 
When I try the lines you sent in the mail I get an error:
regtool get /HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyEnable
Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.
 
However, when adding quotation marks to the registry key I get the expected result.
regtool get "/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyEnable"
1
