We can use the automatic proxy configuration and point users at that.
We could have browsers provide a hook to install their own config
stuff and make something like the script below for netscape.
We (are going to) use this for example:
function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
{
if (url.substring(0, 5) != "http:"
&& url.substring(0, 4) != "ftp:"
&& url.substring(0, 7) != "gopher:")
return "DIRECT";
if (isResolvable(host))
if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".wi.leidenuniv.nl"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY wwwproxy.wi.leidenuniv.nl:3128; DIRECT";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
(With thanks to netgod for the protocol-detection).
Wichert.
