The Netscape specification is quite useable. You can find this and other
userful information from the Squid FAQ section on proxy auto
configuration. I would recommend to also look into WPAD which you can find
almost in the same place in the Squid FAQ.

On a web server somewhere. This web server may be on the same server as
Squid if you like, or some other server on your network. Or it might
even be a file share accessible to all clients. To Squid it does
not matter how the client finds the .pac file, just that the .pac file
instructs the client to go to the Squid proxy when it should..
