PROXY w3proxy.netscape.com:8080; PROXY mozilla.netscape.com:8081; DIRECT : Same as above, but if both proxies go down, automatically start making direct connections. (In the first example above, Netscape will ask user confirmation about making direct connections; in this case, there is no user intervention.) PROXY w3proxy.netscape.com:8080; SOCKS socks:1080 : Use SOCKS if the primary proxy goes down.\n\nThe auto-config file should be saved to a file with a .pac filename extension: proxy.pac.\n\nAnd the MIME type should be set to application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig.\n\nNext, you should configure your server to map the .pac filename extension to the MIME type.\n\n> [!NOTE] > > - The JavaScript function should always be saved to a file by itself but not be embedded in an HTML file or any other file. > - The examples at the end of this document are complete. There is no additional syntax needed to save it into a file and use it.
