That's because netscape (and IE) expect the pac file to have a mime
type of the above. If you use Apache, try the following .htaccess:

[mpc@pc24 www_html]$ cat .htaccess
AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig pac

Basically tells Apache to set the mime type for all files ending in
pac for the directory the .htaccess file is in.

You could also modify the httpd.conf file to make all .pac files
that mime type, etc.
