Does Safari support Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows whether Safari supports Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?
Morgan

HI Morgan ..
Safari is extremely finicky about proxies and according to Wikipedia it dates back to older browser versions.

  • Does Safari support a interactive PDF with hidden layers? I'm on version  5.0.3 and the interactive PDF displays just fine, but our web development team tells me all the layers display when they view the same PDF on Safari.

    Does Safari support interactive PDFs with layers? Through the use of hidden layers and buttons we built in interactivity that allows the viewers to click on buttons to display different content. When I view the PDF in Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 the PDF displays fine and the interactivity works. However our web design firm tell me the PDF displays all the hidden layers when they view it in Safari. Who's right?

    Try updating your Safari to the latest version, 5.0.5.
    Also check whether the rest of your system is up to date by going to Software Update in the Apple menu.

  • Proxy automatic configuration with PAC script file

    Dears,
    Regarding HTTP communications, I would like to auto-detect proxy settings based on system settings.
    I can get information on manually configured proxy, using the following code:
    import java.net.Proxy;
    import java.net.ProxySelector;
    import java.net.URI;
    import java.net.URISyntaxException;
    import java.util.List;
    public class Test {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
              try {
                   List<Proxy> list = ProxySelector.getDefault().select(new URI("http://www.google.be/"));
                   for(int i=0; i<list.size(); i++){
                        System.out.println(list.get(i));
              } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }But ...
    I haven't found a way yet to get proxy information from automatic proxy configuration script (pac files).
    Has anyone encountered/solved this problem yet?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Eric

    well the simple fact, as far as i know, is there just is no autoproxydetection out of the box library for standalone java apps.
    there are some libraries out there, but none of which integrate all the functionality as the java plugin/webstart does. and i could not be able to integrate the webstart jar (javaws.jar, deploy.jar, etc.) into a standalone app. a promising project is the "proxy vole" project on kenai, but that's only beta and not all necessary stuff is there.
    i noticed that the eclipse project has some proxy autodetection code and there are a few hints & tricks sites out on the web, explaining how you can do proxy autodetection yourself, like reading, at least for windows, registry keys and a dll to process a proxy pac file, but for instance, no support for windows WAPD through DNS/DHCP.
    I've spent quite some hours to do research on all these things, and it's just missing for standalone apps. i was really surprised that sun does not provide the same stuff for standalone apps as they do for webstart apps, which in my opinion is really really dissapointing. maybe they plan to do that, but i wasn't able to find any information about that.
    well, that's all i know so far.

  • Bypass automatic proxy configuration for some websites?

    Here's my problem, perhaps someone can help:
    I occassionally need to use my university's proxy server to access library materials, etc., through my off-campus connection. So I entered the .pac file (a url) in the Automatic Proxy Configuration box of System Preferences > Network. All well and good.
    The problem is, when I want to get more weather details from the weather widget for example, visiting a site like Accuweather.com throws up the login page for my proxy server. Having to enter my university id and password whenever I want to check the weather is guaranteed to drive me bananas.
    So is there any way to keep sites like Accuweather.com from demanding I log into my proxy server when there's no reason to, while still keeping my auto proxy configuration in place for when I really need to use it? Anything I can do in Safari about this?
    The other option seems to be to reserve one browser, configured with my university proxy, just for doing library research, etc., and another as a general surfing browser. I'd be happy to make Safari do general duty, and configure Camino to use the proxy server, but I can't seem to make this division work, since both use whatever's listed in Network Prefs. I can't tell one to use the proxy and the other not to, they're both controlled by this global pref.
    I think I might be able to specify the proxy locally in Firefox, and leave Safari w/o the proxy...But I much prefer the look and feel of Camino...
    Any ideas on how to get around this with Safari, or a combo of Safari and Camino?
    Thanks in advance for any tips.
    iBook G4 800Mhz 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Safari 2.0.3, Camino 1.0

    Okay, I found the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains" box right under my nose, in Network Prefs. It's explained in this kbase document,
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301534
    Getting closer...
    However, using the accuweather.com example, I tried entering the domain name and it still calls up the login in Safari. I even tried looking up the site's IP address and entering that in different forms:
    wwwa.accuweather.com
    207.242.93.24
    207.242.93.*
    Still no luck, it calls up the proxy server...

  • Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

    I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
    does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
    There can be multiple reasons for it.
    So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
    Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
    Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
    Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
    Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
    Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
    https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
    Ensure that
    you have applied the latest updates on the system.
    For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

  • Trying to open a sharepoint library in Windows Explorer via IE 8 results in the error "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer"

    I am attempting to connect to a Microsoft Sharepoint library, via the "Actions -> Open in Windows Explorer" option from the Sharepoint page.  When I do so, I get the error message "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer".  In short, I am trying to get the "drag and drop" functionality of a Sharepoint library.
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE8.  The target Sharepoint environment is a MOSS 2007 EE.  My Windows "WebClient" service is running, and I have no problem connecting to this exact library via a Windows XP computer running IE8.

    Verify that the Webclient is started automatically from the Services.msc
    Verify that your Portal is in the Intranet local security zone (You can reach it from Your Internet Explorer Browser Security Tag) if not add it to the list
    restart the WebClient service if it's work good
    If not you have to create a network share to your portal URL directly not your documents library.
    Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.
    From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
    In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
    Type the name of the folder to map wich is in this case your SharePoint Portal URL (Don't include the documents libraries)
    Click the "Reconnect at login" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently. Otherwise, this drive will un-map when the user logs out of this computer.
    If the remote computer that contains the shared folder requires a different username and password to log in, click the "different user name" hyperlink to enter this information.
    Click Finish.
    I am looking for a suite method :)

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work on some computers, but Manual proxy can work

    It seems that the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work, I use the command netstat -a, can't see the connection to proxy server, but manual proxy is ok, and I tested on some others computers, most of these computers can work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
    For the computer can't work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, I did below actions
    1.Clear the cache
    2.update the version of firefox
    3.reinstall the firefox
    4.use the safemode to run firefox
    but unfortunately, still doesn't work.
    Can some dear friends give me a big favor for this? Thanks a million in advance!

    I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration - FindProxyForURL

    The plug-in documentation states, "There are a number of JavaScript helper functions which can be called from the JavaScript function FindProxyForURL. Java Plug-in provides its own implementation of these functions to completely emulate the automatic proxy configuration."
    Does the Java Plug-in implement the dnsDomainIs helper function? I ask because the proxy.pac that I use has something like this:
    if (
    dnsDomainIs(host,"intranet.domain.com")
    return "DIRECT";
    When the Java Plug-in tries to connect to a particular host that is in our intranet (ex. host1.intranet.domain.com) I get a proxy server login prompt. However, if I use:
    if ( shExpMatch(host, "*.asco.ashland.com") )
    return "DIRECT";
    I do NOT get a proxy server login.
    Any thoughts?

  • Your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer - related to multiple uploads?

    Hi folks -
    I've read through some threads regarding "Your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer" and it seems a lot of folks have a lot of solutions throughout the forum posts.  Is there anything official or semi-official regarding
    this? 
    I've tried a lot of the fixes including:
    checking to see if the WebClient service is on
    modifying so-and-so registry (I've since changed them back since they seem to have no effect)
    and changing various settings in Internet Options including making sure the site is in the Local intranet zone.
    I could live without this functionality but just recently my upload-multiple-files functionality in SharePoint 2010 has also gone away (red x instead of directory UI).  I wonder if it's related somehow and could give us a clue.
    If it helps I'm using various browsers but of the IE flavor 8 and 9 32-bit as the base for testing this.

    For SharePoint 2013 (so could apply to 2010 as well), my problem was that I was trying to "Open with Explorer"
    something that probably can't be opened with Explorer. In my case, I just wanted to open my team's Shared Documents with Explorer. I found that when I first log into SharePoint and view the page, I'm presented with those Shared Documents, but also other things
    as well.
    To get "Open with Explorer" to work, I must click "Shared Documents" under the Libraries heading on
    the left. Then, all the other stuff (Links, Getting Started, etc.) go away and I'm focused on my team's shared documents. From there, I can go up to the Library Tools section in the ribbon, choose the Library tab in the ribbon, and click Open with Explorer.
    Works like a champ on Windows 7 64-bit, running IE 9 32-bit.
    Unfortunately that's not what was going on in my case.  One obvious way to check is to see if other people or other computers can Open with Explorer.  In my case it was just this one machine on my desk that had the issue.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
    Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
    As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
    So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
    There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
    What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
    Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

  • Explorer View - Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer MOSS 2007 '

    We recently had a major deployement, after which Explorer View started giving error message.
    Before deployement, all was working fine.
    Error: Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
    Webclient service is already enabled.
    The site has been added to trusted site lists.
    All Active-x controls have been enabled.
    Browser: Internet Explorer 8 - 32 bit.
    Microsoft Office 32 bit is also installed.
    Thanx in advance.

    You could try updating the following registry key on a client PC as a test: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Paramenters\AuthForwardServerList to include the URL of your sharpoint site. Add the root site and it might enable this functionality.

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration keeps getting disabled for Manual Proxy Configuration

    When ever I launch Firefox 3.6.13, the connection settings get reset to Manual Proxy Configuration. I switch the connection settings to automatic proxy configuration and all works fine. Upon closing and re-launching Firefox the Connection Setting is set back to manual proxy configuration.
