I guess you should buy a new keyboard, your comma key appears to be broken.

Post some code, and convince us that you've RTFM

The caller must free the lpszProxy, lpszProxyBypass and lpszAutoConfigUrl strings in the WINHTTP_CURRENT_USER_IE_PROXY_CONFIG structure if they are non-NULL. Use GlobalFree to free the strings.

Only stupid to those who are too lazy to read and learn from their mistakes.

I have already done a GlobalFree for non-NULL.The above function call returns true and value is null for above parameters and then still a memory leak.

On what information are you saying there is a memory leak?
- watching task manager
- output from the debug heap

Have you checked ALL your functions for such memory free requirements?

Is there some 'WinHttpShutdown' function you need to call at the end to free all the internal resources of the WinHttp service?
