Re: [squid-users] wpad.dat (proxy.pac) and testing

Simply telnet to your webserver's port 80 and make a request like the
following.

GET /proxy.pac HTTP/1.0<enter>
<enter>

Be sure to actually hit your ENTER key there--twice--where I have
"<enter>". You can also request "/wpad.dat" in place of "/proxy.pac"
.. You should anticipate serving both files (as you've mentioned already.)

The response, on my systems, is similar to the following.

GET /proxy.pac HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 20:38:35 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
 if (
  isPlainHostName( host ) ||
  dnsDomainIs( host, ".utsouthwestern.edu" ) ||
  host == "localhost" ||
  host == "127.0.0.1" || ) {
   return "DIRECT;" }
else {
  return "PROXY proxy:3128; DIRECT;" }
}

Hope that helps,
Peter
