WPAD proxy config

wpad is a javascript "pac" file that the browser loads, the script tells the browser witch proxy to use for every url request.

Apache2

put wpad.dat file under /var/www
discovery
- a dhcp server, configured with option 252 = "http://your.server.here/wpad.dat"
- have dns setup top point wpad.COMP.com to the server.
setup the file type, in apache to "application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig"

In your /etc/dhcpd.conf global config, you need something like this:

   # For browser auto proxy configuration
   option wpad code 252 = text;
   option wpad "http://wpad.my.lan/wpad.dat\n";

Example wpad.dat file

   function FindProxyForURL (url, host) {
     return "PROXY proxy:8080";
   }
