Actually you should change the Debug/ and Release/ ones.

After a few search, I've found that you have to use wininet.dll to retrieve
this kind of information (see InternetGetConnectedState and
InternetQueryOption / INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY ). But if you use it, that makes
libcurl useless (on windows machines), because it can do whatever libcurl does
(I think). :(

The only advantage would be to have a portable code to other platforms (only
the connection detection would be platform dependant).

The problem I have is when you have auto proxy configuration (through PAC
files) (see http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-
live.html ) you have to parse that configuration file (that also works on Linux
or any platform where Mozilla/Netscape works) which is a bit complicated for
what I wanted to do (on Mozilla, they use a JavaScript code to parse it). :(

If anyone have such a parser in C or C++ it'd be glad to try it :)
