OS 10.4 autoproxy pac file support broken?
Authored by: jdandrea on Nov 10, '05 11:36:28AM

I (and others) have been unable to use our autoproxy.pac file ever since moving to 10.4.3.

As soon as we moved from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 (via "erase and install" mind you, not "archive and install"), our autoproxy.pac file ceased to work when set within Network Preferences (whether via "Manual / Automatic Proxy Configuration" or "Using a PAC file").

However, that same pac file works fine from 10.3.2 through 10.3.9. Always has.

It also works fine within Firefox's own autoproxy settings. Every. Single. Time.

Checking the pac file for javascript errors, I find none. (Indeed, since Firefox and 10.3.9 work with it, I don't expect there to be any.)

Bottom line: Something's broken. I called Apple Support but was asked to post something online. Then I found a similar post on the Apple Discussion Forums, then this thread. :(

So ... I'm here to say "Me too!" Anyone else? Hopefully the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I think I've cracked the case. At long last, I now have a working PAC file. Read all about it.
