Is it just me, or is it slightly disturbing that JavaScript in a configurations property box is being executed?
I guess I had naively assumed that something else, ideally hardened against malicious content, somewhere else is executing the JavaScript retrieved from the PAC file. -- I feel like there should be a separation of responsibilities.

Aside: Why the propensity of running the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SOCKS proxies on non-standard ports? Why not run them on their standard ports; 80, 443, 21, and 1080 respectively?
I switched to using standard ports years ago to simplify configuring HTTP proxy support in Ubuntu installers; "http://proxy.example.net/";, no need to fiddle with the port. Or if you have DNS search domains configured, "http://proxy/"; is sufficient.
