Access proxy servers that use .pac files via Safari
Authored by: pdm on Jun 21, '05 02:31:36PM

I've been doing this for a while, with Safari, Camino, and Firefox. I'd be interested to hear if Safari crashes more for you with this feature enabled. My Safari has been unstable for years, so much so I can't even bother running it. It can crash 10 to 20 times a day.

Someone suggested proxy.pac might be causing problems, so I disabled it and sure enough the crashes stopped happening. This sort of crashing happened on 10.3 and 10.4.

For now I have the system wide proxy turned off and have Camino and Firefox turned on internally, as they don't pay attention to the global setting.

There's a known bug in Firefox on 10.4 when using a PAC File URL.
I notified Apple about this three weeks ago.
