APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Windows Internet Services (WinInet)

-





SYMPTOMS
When you close an application that calls the functions in the Wininet.dll file, and the computer uses the automatic configuration script, the application may stop responding for 60 seconds before the application closes.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of a pending autoproxy processing request. The application that uses the Wininet.dll file waits for 60 seconds for the autoproxy thread to finish its work.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
