IIRC, the SOCKS type is what is required as opposed to PROXY. If I'm
wrong, you'll have to read through the proxy autoconfiguration
documentation on Netscape's developer website.

if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:" ||
        url.substring(0, 6) == "https:" ||
        url.substring(0, 7) == "gopher:")
                return "PROXY squid.yourdomain.com:port";

if (url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:")
                return "SOCKS socksproxy.yourdomain.com:port";
