I checked this out, but it did not work, because when the PAC-File
returns:

  "PROXY p1:8080; PROXY p2:8080";

and the parent-proxy of p1 is not available, p1 returns a error-message
("parent not available") and the browser will not failover to p2,
because the request yield HTML and everything seems to be fine for the
browser.

I am not sure, if turning off the error massages is an option?

Kind regards
