Re: Proxy.Pac

I use the following:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
  // Only proxy for http, ftp, and gopher
  if ((url.substring(0, 5) != "http:") &&
      (url.substring(0, 4) != "ftp:") &&
      (url.substring(0, 7) != "gopher:")) {
    return "DIRECT";
  }

  // Local to the Waveform NAP
  if (shExpMatch(host, "199.179.7.*") ||
      shExpMatch(host, "*waveform.net")) {
    return "DIRECT";
  }

  // Remote
  return "PROXY proxy.waveform.net:3128; PROXY unix0.waveform.net:3128;
DIRECT";
}

Netscape has a page that explains the use of the proxy.pac and it's
javascript functions, but I don't know the URL offhand.
