PAC Proxy Chain loading

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 06:38 — Anonymous

Hello,

i have a pac-configured proxy which has a resultant set of URLs, finalized by a "else return DIRECT" directive. However, i would like to use another proxy instead of DIRECT for other urls. I believe this is not a rare case for proxy power-users. I have not currently found a way to do it with foxyproxy, i would be happy if you implement that, or guide me how to configure that.

p.s.

the 'add a proxy' button could use a 'cancel' button.

‹ Automatically redirect to Webproxy Match only on host portion of URL ›

I'm not really sure I understand the question. This sounds like a PAC question, not a FoxyProxy one, right? I can probably help you with PAC questions even though this is FoxyProxy forum. So... I don't understand why you can't just change the "else return DIRECT;" to something like "else return PROXY 192.168.1.1:8080;" ??

It might help if you post an excerpt of you PAC file.

The first PAC file i have is

The first PAC file i have is public and is available at www.tau.ac.il/remote.pac.
However, I have two other proxy settings which depend on my location and need to be chained to it. one of them is a static entry and the other is a second PAC file, which is private and hence i cannot post it here.

why can't i edit the pac file to change 'direct' to something else? ofcourse i can, although i will have to do this every time remote.pac changes, or my second pac changes, which kind of makes the whole thing futile. if i'm going to maintain a customized PAC file myself, might aswell script all my proxy needs - but i was hoping to avoid that.

I hoped foxyproxy would support doing this automatically as a convinience to users instead of editing PAC files. It doesn't seem too hard to implement and it's much easier than merging a PAC together - go through second PAC when first PAC called for 'direct'.

Hi, FoxyProxy Plus offers a

Hi,

FoxyProxy Plus offers a capability that might help you: it can choose which proxy configuration (PAC file, direct, hostname, ip address of proxy, etc) based on your local IP address (LAN address like 192.168.*.*). That way you can switch between the different setting based on where you've connected to the internet.

Look for FoxyProxy Plus in the next day or two at http://foxyproxyplus.com. It's cost is USD 9.99 and offers other features beyond regular FoxyProxy.
