RE: [squid-users] .pac file/newbie guide request here

I put the .pac file on the workstations, and update it via login script. This allows me to do things like:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.10.14.0", "255.255.255.0"))
return "PROXY 10.10.10.10:3128";
return "DIRECT";
}

which allows laptops to go home and work correctly, without a proxy server, on their broadband connection.

You would put this file on a Web server. Furthermore you need to make sure
that the server returns the correct content type for the URL. You
can do it in apache like this:

   AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pac
