RE: [squid-users] IE proxy autoconfiguration!!!

Have you considered using WPAD?

WPAD is described in the Squid FAQ, Section 5.10

I use kix32 for my logon scripts, but you can use anything that writes to
the registry.

 ;---proxy settings---

$Dummy=WriteValue
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Internet Settings","ProxyEnable","01","REG_BINARY")

$Dummy=WriteValue
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Internet Settings","ProxyServer","myproxy.mynet.lan:3128","REG_SZ")

$Dummy=WriteValue
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Internet
Settings","ProxyOverride","
*.exclude.com;exclude.them.com;<local>","REG_SZ")

$Dummy=WriteValue
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Internet Settings","AutoconfigURL","","REG_SZ")
 $Dummy=WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main","Start Page","http://intranet.mylan.lan","REG_SZ")
 $Dummy=WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main","AutoSearch","0","REG_DWORD")
 ;---end proxy settings---

The entries do the following:
Line 1: Enable proxy server
Line 2: Set the proxy server to myproxy.mylan.lan
Line 3: Set any exclusions you want (semicolon seperated) and the <local>
is
for the "Bypass proxy for local addresses"
Line 4: Set the Auto configure URL (Currently set to none)
Line 5: Set start page to http://intranet.mylan.lan
Line 6: Set IE to NOT start a seach if it can't find a page (saves on
bandwidth)
