Hello list,
I have run into a problem when using Safari(any version) on Mac OS X
Tiger and below. I have a .pac(ProxyAutoConfig) file that I point my
browser to for content filtering. It works well for http but https it
does not, I don't even see it show up in my logs. The Safari browser
does not even use the proxy specified for https request and just
connects directly. It is only on the Mac platform as the Windows
version works correctly and Camino works on the Mac correctly.
Unfortunately, switching to Camino is not an option. Has anybody else
seen this?
I talked with an Apple rep and he talked to an Apple engineer that
said it was a known issue in all versions running on anything other
than leopard and that the fix was to upgrade the OS. He also said that
they would not fix the issue for the previous versions of their OS.
This is a serious problem considering CIPA compliance for school
districts that do content filtering and use Apples own "flagship"
browser.
Does anyone have a fix other than upgrading all of our Macs to the new OS?
Any ideas appreciated,
Jon
