Talk:Proxy auto-config

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] PAD file can be a local file.

Instructions from here: http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/proxypac.html

Autoconfigure the Proxy Settings from a Local Copy of the PROXY.PAC File (IE or Netscape)

In this method, useful for laptops that travel on and off your LAN, you copy the file to some local directory, and point to it.

1. Copy the PROXY.PAC file to the C:\WINDOWS directory, or other directory of your choice. 2. In the browser proxy settings, configure the Automatic Proxy Configuration (Netscape) or Use Automatic Configuration Script (IE) URL to:

Netscape, use: file:///c|/windows/proxy.pac

Internet Explorer, use: file://c:/windows/proxy.pac

In Netscape, click on the Reload button.

However, this removes the ability to change the proxy settings on the fly.
