what about proxy exceptions?
a few tests with proxy.pac - the simple form of wpad (wpad only defines
how to find the proxy.pac-file, right?) - showed, that settings in the
"proxy exceptions" - sites which should fetched direct without proxy -
are ignored. you have to provide those sites via proxy.pac file.
settings in the browser dialogs are ignored. so you could some users
define additional exceptions?
i also thought about letting a script generate the proxy.pac based on
client ip or location in our subsidiaries. but with this "proxy
exceptions" ore ignored and this is - at the moment - a problem.
