My squid server has apache on it as well. The wpad.dat (and proxy.pac) is on
the squid/apache server.
The only time this prompt appears is when users are using sites with the
NSPlayer/9.00.00.2980. I'm getting the header from the squid useragent.log
file. The prompt is attached. The squid prompt box asks for the domain name
right?
Guess I may be barking up the wrong tree here.

- WPAD is normally used for automatic proxy detection in IE.
- I don't understand why the remote webserver , would offer a WPAD.dat
files
for 'internet users', that doesn't make sense.
- The remote webserver may be broken.
