libUrl bug with proxy use?

Re: libUrl bug with proxy use?
I have a standalone in LC7.1.2 that is not able to connect to the internet on another user's computer.
The user has a registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\DefaultConnectionSettings that contained a reference to a pac file but the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\AutoConfigURL was empty.
I doesn't look like the pac file reference in the DefaultConnectionSettings is being used in libUrl.
Testing showed that the program can ping the dropbox api website: api.v.dropbox.com
The failed POST attempt to the above site produced a log showing:
_proxyForURL_proxyForURL use _proxyFromHTTPProxy() with HTTPProxyProxy for URL: http://:80 it looks like the libUrl is not able to deal properly with this situation.
Currently I have to ask the user to turn off the proxy to enable the program to run.
The libUrl should be able to handle the proxy and connect.
This also seems to be causing me multiple problems with other users since they just expect my program to run, and don't want to go through a series of communications to help me track down the issues with their proxy settings.

Please submit a bug report for this. LibURL is supposed to deal with pac files.
