Never been able to get this to work
I have not been able to get this to work. I am running a proxy server locally (on port 9980).
If I set the "Web Proxy (HTTP)" setting to 127.0.0.1:9980 it works fine. But if I chose "Automatic Proxy Configuration" and point to my .pac file which contains: function FindProxyForURL(url, host)Safari won't connect to anything. What I would like to use a PAC for is so that no matter what connections will work - whether or not I have my proxy turned on (running) - which is what my PAC is suppose to do (if the PROXY is not responding, fail over to DIRECT).

You could try Authoxy, which sets up a small locally running proxy. It is designed to authenticate to other proxies, but also offers support for PAC files. It uses libcurl to download the PAC file, so as long as the URL you specify is valid curl syntax, it should be able to download and use it. It will also provide debugging feedback to let you know if it is working.
Necessary disclaimer: I wrote Authoxy! ---

I setup on my network preference the URL necessary to load the proxy.pac; this .pac contains definitions of some sites (exceptions) that cha be accessed without usign the proxy.
Camino and .pac support
I figured I would update this comment, since things had changed since then. I don't know which update it started working in, but now I am using 10.3.6 with Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12). The .pac file set in the network preferences works with Safari now.
I also use the same .pac file in FireFox 1.0. However Camnio 0.8.2 which normally recognizes the system proxy configuration, does not use the proxy auto config file (.pac). In order to enable the .pac for Camino you need to add a couple lines to your user.js file (usually found in your ~/Library/Application Support/Camino folder). The two lines you need to add (which will need to be customized for your setup): user_pref("network.proxy.type", 2);Replace the "file:///Users/username/Library/proxy.pac" with the correct URL or path to your .pac file. |
