RE: Autodetect squid proxy settings

2003-02-13 Thread Maarten Vink
You need at least two things:

1. a proxy configuration script that tells your browser which proxy to use
2. a way to download that script.

The most reliable way is to set up a webserver with the domain name
wpad.your-domain.com serving up this file as wpad.dat (so that becomes
http://wpad.your-domain.com/wpad.dat). The other option is sending the
location of your configuration script via DHCP; you need option 252 for
that.

Hi

Wondering if anyone could help me, Im trying to have IE5 autodetect
proxy settings for my network without having to go to each
workstation. We have dhcp running.

Thanks
Craig

I did this, and ended up implementing every possible way of proxy
autodetection. 

Did I document it? I remember thinking I should but didn't. Have I
started documenting it now? Yeah, I've put a wiki page up on the Debian
Wiki at;

http://wiki.debian.net/ProxyAutodetectConf

Please contribute/correct as you use.
