Proxy Exceptions on iPad 3

[OSSMAPhil]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me where I find the setting to add proxy exceptions on the ipad 3.

We need to be able to access the internal exchange server (not through a proxy) but all internet traffic needs to go through a proxy (no authentication needed).

I do not want to use a PAC.

Thanks

Two choices:

 

- use a PAC

- have a proxy that can handle the exceptions.

 

The IPad doesn't yet have an exceptions option. Why won't you use a PAC? They are easy to write.

I have tried a PAC but does not work.

Don't know if its the PAC or the location? Can you just put it on a server share? i.e. \\SERVER\PROXY\PROXY.PAC

The PAC is: -

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)

{

if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "172.***.***.***", "255.255.0.0"))

return "PROXY 192.***.***.***:8080";

else

return "DIRECT";

}

I think it needs to be on a web server, not a server share.

No.

 

It needs to be on a web server. The webserver needs to have the correct mime type for what you're doing defined too.

 

If you're not using WPAD and just pointing directly to a PAC file, configure the MIME type application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig for the .pac extension. If you're using WPAD configure the MIME type application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig for the .dat extension.

Basically what the other guys said. This post will help - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2008-r2/94042-2008-r2-webdav-ipad.html#post819160

 

PS: An iPad isnt a mac!

I managed it recently. You need to host the PAC file in IIS on Windows Server (for example). If you read all the messages in the link FN-GM posted, I've described pretty much step by step how I went about it.

 

To my knowledge the same rules apply for iPad 1, 2 and 3.

Moving to Netbooks, PDA and Phones forum.

*We really have to get around to renaming that one!

Why not create a iPad section in the forum? there is demand for it.

Problem with that is you will then have to create one for each tablet then we get loads of fourm boards...

[JR-PCS]

all that is needed is a forum for iOS and a forum for android.

What about the blackberry ones? HP WebOs & MeeGo?

[JR-PCS]

There isn't demand for them and so they can go in this forum which can be renamed slightly to "Other Netbooks, PDA and Phones" but there is demand for iPad. In the last few months that I have been a member, daily there will be a new thread to do with iPads created in the Mac forum.

We should call it the "post pc era" forum
