Greetings

I am rearchitecting an existing enterprise application written in .NET 1.1, and one of the requirements is that, on a given machine, several instances of an application that employs the WebBrowser control may be running, but each of them needs to employ separate HTTP proxy settings.

I know that the WinAPI call to InternetSetOption() can be used to set proxy settings on a system-wide basis, but I was wondering if any of you knew a way to set proxy settings for a WebBrowser control on a per-application basis.

This particular application predates my employment, so while I have had to wade through its incredibly poorly-designed and messy code a few times in the past, I am not eager to do so again. I do know that the previous application managed the above functionality, though, so I know it's possible.

Any help or information is appreciated; I have Googled the subject often and the only response I've found so far (which I know to be false) is that it simply cannot be done.

Thanks for any help.
