Comment #70 on issue 266 by JimmyZ.Z: Chrome uses Windows' proxy settings http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=266
jon you've been fighting on this thread for a long time stating that users can archive flexible proxy setting by using a PAC file. I agree with you partially but... I've tried to use PAC a few month ago, but never got it working and I was thinking chrome do not support PAC, the very same PAC file works on IE/Firefox/Opera. Today I found this thread and then I think I might be missing something, so I re- checked everything I could imagine, then I finally figured it out: 1st, SOCKS directive is NOT working, so tor is not suitable since it only provides a socks proxy, fortunately I can use privoxy to set up a regular http proxy through it. 2nd, local PAC file address like "file://D:/tor.pac" does NOT work, "http://xxx/tor.pac"; works, I uploaded it to a web server, it works, while IE/Firefox/Opera were happy with a local PAC file. all above test was done on beta branch 1.0.154.48, my coworker's dev branch 2.0.169.0 was not working with the same setting, sorry but I don't have enough time and patience to test that. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
