Pac File Creation

[swiftysw1]

Hi Is there anyone here who can help me create a pac file??

Basically want my Ipads to by-pass the proxy ... for i.e Spice works and other local systems etc...

Thanks

can you put the ipads on a different SSID and vlan?. If they are on another subnet it should be fairly trivial.

A useful website for reference is here - FindProxyForURL

I would of thought you could use a rule which checks the browser header for iPad however to the best of my knowledge I don't believe WPAD/Pac files support this

Example WPAD file for you

//Pac File
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
//Setting the proxy variables
var proxy_yes = "PROXY 10.1.1.254:8881";
var proxy_no = "DIRECT";
var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host);
var myip = myIpAddress();
//Debug Info
//alert("My Addr: " + myIpAddress() + "\nURL: " + url + "\nHost: " + host);
// All ftp requests go DIRECT - can be adapted for other protocols 
if (url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:") {
    return proxy_no;
    }
//Bypass for local domains
    if (shExpMatch( host, "127.*" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "localhost" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "*.domain.com" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "*.domain.co.uk" )
    ||  isPlainHostName( host )
    ||  dnsDomainIs( host, ".domain.co.uk")
    ||  dnsDomainIs( host, ".domain.com)) {
       return proxy_no; 
    }
//If you are on the 10.111.x.x network use the proxy
if (isInNet(myip, "10.111.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
        {
        return proxy_yes;
        }
//if not browse direct
else    {
        return proxy_no;
        }
}

You can test your PAC/WPAD files using pactester very useful for finding errors - http://code.google.com/p/pactester/
