Internet -> Lan Settings -> Pac File

[AWS]

I am trying to configure a proxy.pac file for testing. I've boiled it down to the most simple config and it still doesn't work.

I am using a non domain-member WMWare Fusion VM connected with one active network connection bridge to a wired nic.

 

Windows8/IE10

I created a local share on the machine called:

\testvmproxy and place my proxy.pac file in there.

The pac file contains just this:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

 

if ( url == &quotwww.google.com&quot ) {

return &quotPROXY 10.10.10.10&quot

}

else {

return &quotDIRECT&quot

}

 

}

 

The 10.10.10.10 machine does not exist.

I registered the pac file in IE using these settings:

[unticked] Automatically detect settings

[Ticked] Use automatic configuration script

Address: \testvmproxyproxy.pac

[unticked] Use a proxy server for your LAN

 

I would expect IE to time out when I try to access View the full article
