Hi,

I need to set the auto proxy details in Deer Park Alpha 2, but the input box gets prepended with http://w/ which I can't seem to get rid of.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Options > General > Connection Settings > Auto Proxy Configuration URL
2. try typing in http://www.example.com/proxy.pac
3. It ends up as http://www/w/www.example.com/proxy.pac

Actual Results:  
I'm unable to set the auto proxy url, I think Deer Park Alpha2 tries to prepend http:// automagically to my url, and the code to do that might be a bit funky.
