Re: Squid as Web SERVER (for .pac files)?

I can type it out from memory, if you want:

#!/bin/sh
echo "HTTP/1.0 200 Eat this"
echo "Content-type: application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig"
echo "Cache-control: no-store"
echo ""
cat /usr/local/etc/autoproxy.pac
/bin/sleep 5 # Occasionally necessary to let buffers flush
# END

If you hang that off port 80, then any web-request that comes in will
get your autoproxy script, no matter what they actually ask for.
