TWebbrowser not working when proxy specified

Question

With Windows XP I have edited the Internet Options and set proxy details, I open IE8 - it then asks for the proxy username/password and then it will work fine.

I then open my app with a TWebbrowser however ALL urls will fail to load, it just comes up with a default windows looking page saying the page failed to load.

Do you need to do anything special to make TWebbrowser work with proxies?

Answer 1

I suspect you have the "Silent" property set on your WebBrowser control. That blocks the dialog that prompts the user for credentials for the proxy server.
