Hi there,
I am working on an 8.1 SOE and have an issue whereby the wpad.dat file does not seem to apply (or if it does then very slowly) and there is a 10 second delay every time IE 11 loads, before our intranet page is displayed (seems almost identical to the 10 second delay described here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc302643.aspx). Once loaded all sites work so it's just the startup delay I need to sort out. Chrome loads instantly of course but we have apps that rely on IE. Here are some things I've checked so far:
- Our current Windows 7 SOE with IE8 loads the wpad.dat and there is no delay, I can see this with wireshark and the WPAD registry entries exist under HKCU, wpad.dat exists in temporary files folder
- I cannot see any reference to wpad.dat on Windows 8.1 with IE 11 in wireshark, the wpad registry key exists but no data appears under it once IE has loaded, cannot see any wpad.dat in the cache
- there are entries loaded into DefaultConnectionSettings and SavedLegacySettings, but they dont seem to reference any host (on my win7 machine I can see the correct path to the wpad:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]"SavedLegacySettings"=hex:46,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=hex:46,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
- I've tried removing the patch to 11.0.1 and 11 with same results
- disabled AV, IPv6, all sorts of other stuff without any success
Appreciate any ideas :)
Thanks,
Simon
