I'm writing an http proxy program in C++ and I need it to automatically configure the default browser proxy settings to use my proxy. With IE i can just modify the registry, Chrome has a command line parameters that can be used, firefox has the prefs file, but I can't figure out how to do it for Opera. It needs to be compatible with all versions, so PAC files are out of the question. Any help is appreciated.

What about other programs? I know quite a few programs that use HTTP, e.g. to check for and download newer versions. – MSalters Feb 12 '10 at 10:43

what do other programs have to do with the default browser? – Ilia Choly Feb 13 '10 at 22:05

Just in case you had problems with with IE, apparently on Windows 7 you can't just modify the registry.
