Hi Amos,

That idea sounds interesting. Do you have an example configuration for
that mini-accelerator config?


Just this:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy#head-7fa129a6528d9a5c914f8dd5671668173e39e341

But with the ACL tweaked to include:
  acl pacfile urlpath_regex ^/proxy\.pac$

Amos

Thanks,
Jan

Hi,

We do have three types of client proxy configurations at our company:

1. Direct proxy: proxy.company.com:8080
2. Auto-configuration file: http://proxy.company.com:8080/
3. Auto detect proxy.company.com:80

Clients use ether one of the configuration. The client configuration
can not be changed since we do have a lot of clients.
I redesigned the proxy server since the old one could not handle the
load anymore. The new server runs Squid. Configuration 1 and 3 work
like a charm an I am very happy with it.

My Question for you is:
Is Squid capable of hosting the auto-configuration file? Or is there a
workaround for that?
Not without some tricky config which get purged during any re-installs or
upgrades. It's recommended to run some very lightweight web server
(lighthttpd etc) to provide the PAC file and setup a mini-accelerator config
inside squid to use it.
