No, I haven't considered that. This programme is just a wrapper around necko's proxy service, so it'll support anything that necko supports. Necko has (limited?) WPAD support, which it handles internally just like ordinary PAC with a fixed URL: "http://wpad/wpad.dat". The problem is that our Network Preferences capplet doesn't have an entry for WPAD. We could either handle that internally (using that URL if the autoconfig_url is empty), or expect the user to input that URL into the capplet. If you need anything that's not implemented by necko yet, it should be added to necko itself, not to GNOME Network Proxy Resolver.
