Automation component for sending HTTP requests

provides support for auto-discovering a proxy 
configuration via its implementation of the Web Proxy 
Auto-Discovery (WPAD) protocol.

Wired AutoConfig   The Wired AutoConfig (DOT3SVC) service is 
responsible for performing IEEE 802.1X 
authentication on Ethernet interfaces. If your current 
wired network deployment enforces 802.1X 
authentication, the DOT3SVC service should be 
configured to run for establishing Layer 2 connectivity 
and/or providing access to network resources. Wired 
networks that do not enforce 802.1X authentication 
are unaffected by the DOT3SVC service.
