Re: Lynx & Proxy again

Fair Warning Shao: I'm not only a Linux-newbie, but incompetent all-around.
However, One thing I AM is curious, so here's my -2 Cents.

I saw you linking to:
http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac

So I wondered what kind of data is in proxy.pac.

Upon viewing it, I see these first three lines:

// november.uws.edu.au/opt/NCSAhttpd/docs/proxy.pac
//
// Auto proxy file for Netscape browsers

I'm thinking maybe this file is NS-Specific?
I know Lynx follows the standards, so maybe there's something
non-standard about it?

Hi all,
     I did the following, still not working..

     In netscape 4.5 I set my proxy -> auto proxy ->
http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac, and it worked fine...

     so in lynx.cfg, I wrote a line:

     http_proxy = http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac

     But it does not work. Lynx returns cannot find the homepage..

     I also tried to use the port settings and it didn't help...

     So what did I do wrong...


Shao
