Noting I have tried setting LiveCodes HTTP Proxy in the Preferences to the PAC File URL which didn't work.

I can open the PAC file URL in a browser and clearly read its content, seems very basic. Noting above, this probably only sets the Browser to know the location of the PAC file and not the OS so is there somewhere in the OS (windows 7 enterprise) that I might set the location of the Proxy PAC file?

If you look at the script of the revLibURL button of the revLibrary stack you will find that httpproxyforURL is now used to resolve the proxy for each url that is loaded. httpproxyforURL uses a PAC file to determine the proxy for a given URL. What I don't see in the script is where httpproxyforURL is initialized. If you pass in a 3rd parameter to httpproxyforURL with the PAC file contents then all subsequent calls to httpproxyforURL will use the same PAC file to resolve the proxy server for the given URL. It may be that the engine itself locates the PAC file and initialization is done in the engine. > Is it fair for me to assume it doesn't support PAC files yet? That depends. How is your computer configured to locate the PAC file? Is the path to the PAC file hardcoded or does your network use WPAD detection? On Windows, WPAD detection is done when the connection proxy settings are set to "Automatically detect settings". It could be that LiveCode will automatically initialize a PAC file if the OS is configured with a PAC file URL but that it doesn't support WPAD detection. If your computer has a hardcoded PAC file and LiveCode isn't picking it up then I think that would be a bug. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems www.screensteps.com - www.clarify-it.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode COPYRIGHT / DISCLAIMER: This message and/or including attached files may contain confidential proprietary or privileged information.
