Proxy Auto Config (PAC) is the traditional method by which web-browsers are automatically configured to use the appropriate proxy for any given site. PAC files consist of a single function implemented in JavaScript. I'd like to execute this function for another puropose: I'm trying to make an application which selects a proxy to use in...
I'm using the CakePHP Console to download files from we and processed in a database. I'm running the console from inside the "app" directory. But when I'm trying to run the console outside app and by just setting the "-app" parameter for my cron job, it doesn't work. To be honest, I've had no success using -app parameter. It's like it'...
Using Hyper-V I built a private windows domain which is fenced off from our main network. Ultimately I want to provision this domain for others to use for dev and test, so they can be domain admin. The domain controller is running the dhcp service (other systems in my domain have dependencies on dhcp). The problem is, if some idiot (i....
Microsoft provides a method as part of WinHTTP which allows a user to determine which Proxy ought to be used for any given URL. It's called WinHttpGetProxyForUrl. Unfortunately I'm programming in python so I cannot directly access this function - I can use Win32COM to call any Microsoft service with a COM interface. So is there any way...

I'm trying to use a feature of the Microsoft WinHttp library that has been exposed by the developers of Win32com. Unfortunately most of the library does not seem to be documented and there are no example of the correct way to use the win32inet features via the win32com library. This is what I have so far: import win32inet hinternet = w...
I have multiple databases that I connect to using SQL*Plus in Windows (not the command window). I've been looking for a way to change the title of the window, so that I can distinguish one instance from another, from the task bar. Yes, I know I can change the prompt, but then I have to switch between the instances and read the prompt, ...
I'm trying to port a win32 application to Windows Mobile 6 / 6.1 / 6.5. It uses winhttp which doesn't appear to be available on the mobile platforms. My initial thought was to replace it with WinInet - but I wondered if anyone had a better idea? ...
I'm having problems with a third-party program which is using FindWindow() to find if another process is started. Where can I find an already-compiled program which enumerate windows (using EnumWindow()) so that I can quickly find what's going wrong ? ...
We build complicated console-based tools that produce a lot of commentary on the console. These tools process a lot of data and so runs are expensive and we don't like to do them more often than necessary, especially during testing where we already have to run them repeatedly. During such tests, we often log the result to a file to ca...
So I can use PIL to grab a screenshot of the desktop, and then use pywin32 to get its rectangle and crop out the part I want. However, if there's something in front of the window I want, it'll occlude the application I wanted a screenshot of. Is there any way to get what windows would say an application is currently displaying? It has th...
Just curious. How does actually the function Sleep() work (declared in windows.h)? Maybe not just that implementation, but anyone. With that I mean - how is it implemented? How can it make the code "stop" for a specific time? Also curious about how cin >> and those actually work. What do they do exactly? The only way I know how to "bloc...

I'm writing a cross-platform shell like program in python and I'd like to add custom tab-completion actions.
