/* mkpadpac.h -- Proxy auto-discovery documentation.
Created: Judson Valeski, 01.15.1998
Proxy auto-discovery (pad) allows the client to search for and use a
pre-determined proxy auto-configuration (pac) file. The file it looks up
and parses is named in the users prefs file (network.padPacURL). The feature
can be completely disabled by setting the network.enablePad preference to
false.
Holding to tradition, I've piggy-backed pad onto the current pac file
implementation. If pad is enabled, the MKproxy_ac_url variable (as defined in
mkautocf.c/h) is set to point at the MK_padPacURL. This means that all the
current pac file logic is used once a pac file is located by pad. A pad pac
file is located by asyncronously searching for the host in the pad pac url
in mkconect.c>NET_findAddress(). If the host is found then MKproxy_ac_url is
set to MK_padPacURL (this happens in mkgeturl.c>NET_getURL()) and we treat the
pad pac file just like a pac file. The only difference is that when there's
a problem with the pad pac file, we failover silently to a direct connection,
no error messages get to the user. All the silent failover happens in
mkautocf.c, except for one case in mkhttp.c which handles the case when there
is a problem actually loading the pac file itself.
