Camino and .pac support
Authored by: raider on Dec 14, '04 04:30:04PM
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);
user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "file:///Users/username/Library/proxy.pac");

Replace the "file:///Users/username/Library/proxy.pac" with the correct URL or path to your .pac file.
