I don't recognize this warning, IE10 or Java?

I'd check the Proxomitron's log window and http://local.ptron/.pinfo/urls/ for the request.

If the request is not in the log window or pinfo, double check proxy settings in the Proxomitron, Browser, Java...

I wonder if http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?t...0#pid13310

I finally saw the problem today. Under Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings where it says "use a proxy server" in the box next to "address" IE had put "host". I'm sure I didn't type that because I know it is "localhost" and there are two other places where you have to type that in the LAN settings (on the advanced tab) and I typed it correctly in both those places. I think every time I double checked the settings that my brain saw "localhost". I checked it four times today looking for a wrong setting and STILL didn't catch it until the last time I checked! I must be getting senile along with getting old. Geez. Anyhow, as soon as I corrected that everything was fine.

I'd use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. http://bfilter.sourceforge.net/doc/brows...#127.0.0.1

If the request is in the log window or pinfo, check firewall, av, process guard etc.

Google does show people having problems with proxies and IE8 but those reports do not appear to be relevant.
