FF unable to comprehend PROXY.PAC file with IPv4 and IPv6 rules in it

My intranet setup involves users going through Squid proxy on a server discoverable by WPAD. Everything worked well until I introduced IPv6 into the network. Now I want their FFs to go IPv4 proxied and go IPv6 direct. I wrote proxy.pac ( http://pastebin.com/UFwVBzcN ) but FF8 throws "XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper is not defined" error. How can this be done?

Hi guigs2,
thanks for your response. As we only use myIpAddress once within our pac-File and only rely on dnsDomainIs(), ==-Comparisons and shExpMatch() and the sum of all pac-Executions was about 4 seconds compared to 40 seconds overall load time, I do not think that dns resolving is our issue.
I checked the seetings of the configuration you mentioned above. It is set to "false", so the client would try the resolve the dns names. Our admin told, that we do not use socks-Proxies, only http-Proxies.
Regarding sequential load of the contents included on www.bild.de from other web sites, I attached a screenthot.
Please note the red highlights. These show the start time in milliseconds of the pac-execution. I added this as a kind of id which represents a unique identifier together with the URL if the log items are mixed. But they are not, instead they are cleanly ordered by URL (for all 360 pac-file calls).
Moreover in the picture you can see the delay between the end of the last pac-file execution and the next one (blue timestamp in millisonds compared to the red timestamp of the next row saying "entered proxy.pac"). The delay sum up exactly to the 40 seconds the FF took to load the page completely.
Alone the fragment shown represents a delay of 630ms between the pac-file executions. If the contents would be loaded in parallel, there should be no such delay.

Performance degradation when using proxy.pac file with FF ESR 31

With Bug 923458 many people complained about a performance issue compared to other browsers when a proxy.pac file is used.
The issue initially reported with the bug was resolved for ESR25 according to the statistics, but the general performance issue remained.
I had the same issue with ESR24 and ESR31.3 .
I was testing with www.bild.de.
It took about 40 seconds to load the content completely. Without the proxy.pac file it took about 10 seconds.
I added a few alerts to the pac-File in order to get logs within the console for some analyses.
I found the following:
1. the pac.file is executed for every request, no matter if the host changed or not.
With us the pac-File checks for IP-Adresses and host-names only.
It is not necessary to execute the pac file for each and every request to the same remote host.
So the question is, if we are able to disable this behaviour via about:config?
2. the content referenced by www.bild.de seems to be loaded sequentially and with a delay
The overall time consumed by the proxy.pac file executions was about 4 Seconds compared to the 40 seconds of overall load time.
So I checked the delay between executions of the pac-file and found an overall delay of 40 seconds. I expect that the delay between the calls to the pac-file is caused by the retrieval of contents from the remote host.
So why are the requests executed sequentially?
Hint: Due to the times necessary for executing the pac-file and downloading the contents from the remote host, I would expect the logs generated by my alerts to be mixed (especially if myIpAddress took 1 Second). But the log is cleanly ordered by URL. (see attachment)

Multihomed servers with IPv4 and IPv6

We have a set up where we have virtual servers with two NIC's. One NIC is connected to our corporate network and the other NIC is connected (via layer 2 over MPLS) to the customer network. The NIC on our network is only assigned an IPv6 address
and the NIC on the customer network is only assigned an IPv4 address from the customer DHCP server. The problem we are running into is when the server does an NSLOOKUP for a URL that is associated with a server located on our network (the server has
an IPv6 and IPv4 address and is publicly accessable to the internet) the traffic goes out the customer NIC then out their internet connection and back to our public facing load balancer. Our application that runs on the server needs to communicate with
a server at the customer site and then send that data to a server on our side. We believe this behavior is happening because the customer server is responding as an "Authoritative" DNS server. We are trying to avoid using the HOSTS file
if possible (when we use the HOSTS file and specify the FQDN with the IPv6 address our application works fine and goes out our NIC).
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,

Thanks for the idea Bruno, however we did try this already. I moved the adapter with IPv6 to the top of the binding order and rebooted the VM. However when I run NSLOOKUP it still goes out the adapter with IPv4 which is now second in the binding
order.
Side question. When I do an IPCONFIG /all what determines the order of listed adapters? I have changed the adapter names (so it isn't alphabetical), I have looked at the adapters in device manager and it isn't based on which one is #1 next to
it. And now I have changed the binding order and it still hasn't changed. The adapter with IPv4 is always listed first. Not sure if that means anything but just an observation.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Adam

Proxy.PAC file not working after upgrade to 10.9.2

I have a local proxy.pac file and it was working happily before 10.9.2.
It was loaded under "Network > Proxies > Automatic Proxy Configuration" and effective for all browsers (Chrome, Safari and Firefox).
After upgrade to 10.9.2 seems like it's being totally ignored. I have a CNTLM proxy in my machine and can see the traffic coming in. Looking at logs, no traffic really comes in and all browsers try to access internet directly.
If I set the proxy.pac directly in Firefox, it works but I want all my browsers and application. I want the same functionality as of 10.9.1 and before.

I submitted a bug report to Apple. The problem is present since 10.9.2, now with 10.10 and iOS. I hope they will take this problem seriously.

Lync 2013 client doesn't read proxy.pac file Lync exclusions

Hi all,
I have a very annoying issue where by the Lync 2013 client ignores the proxy.pac file exclusions set below:
(host == "lync.test.domain") || (host == "lyncdiscoverinternal.test.domain") ||
(host == "lyncwacdca.test.domain") ||
(host == "lyncwacdcb.test.domain") ||
(host == "lyncwebintdca.test.domain") ||
(host == "lyncwebintdcb.test.domain")
IE is set to use automatic configuration script of
http://proxy.test.domain:8083/proxy.pac This file can be reached through and IE browser, downloaded and it's syntax read.
If I set my proxy server and exclusions manually within IE9 then they are adhered to. That is Lync 2013 is able to read.
My thinking: that some application may be iterferring with Lync 2013 getting to
http://proxy.test.domain:8083/proxy.pac or reading in the exclusions set within the file.
If I enter https://lync.test.domain into the browser URL search field I can see that it is being sent straight out to the proxy as opposed to bypassing it.
Does anyone have an example of their proxy.pac exclusion set for Lync 2013 just in case my syntax is not looking the best.
Cheers

Update to this issue - solution was to move the proxy exclusions to the top of the proxy.pac
Outcome resulted in Windows WinHTTP processing the the Lync proxy exclusions prior to the Lync.exe firing during logon. I don't believe you would see this in a typical infrastructure. Since initially looking into this issue I have been
able to show through packet traces, large periods of latency in delivery of desktop profile items due to backend profile storage issues.
In eddition this moving the exclusions to the top of the pac file I made use of substrings. I don't believe the use of substrings is any better or worst, but just easier for others to understand what the exclusion allows specifically.
Example of pac exclusion now:
if (url.substring(0,39) == "http://lyncdiscoverinternal.testdomain.") { return "DIRECT"; } //matches 31 characters including last . or period
I entered similar entries for all required exclusions. The result was Lync signing in within 6 seconds as opposed to the 40 second (through the user of legacy SRV records).

How do I stop having to frequently reload proxy pac file on Windows 7?

I have recently had my laptop upgraded to Windows 7. I'm using Firefox 6.02. I use a corporate proxy.pac file. Now I find the frequently when I return to my PC it says it can't find an external web site. It's immediately fixed by reloading the proxy.pac file

We don't technically support downloading videos from Flash. RealPlayer hooks into Flash without our permission. The security mechanisms designed to prevent malware from taking over your system prevent RealPlayer from doing its thing in Chrome and Firefox. I expect that newer versions of IE will also impact RealPlayer's ability to inject themselves between Flash and the browser.
So that said, it's probably something to do with corrupted settings. You might reset IE to default.
Change or reset Internet Explorer settings - Windows Help
If that doesn't work, you can try blowing away all of the Flash stuff manually.
Before I did that, I'd make sure the filesystem is in a good state. If files are getting corrupted, there's usually an underlying cause:
Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
If something is corrupted, you'll probably hit something that you can't delete.

Proxy.pac file not working for using proxy for selected websites

After changing my ISP, i cant connect to Bluenest.org directly but with proxy. I can also connect by setting manual proxy server for all websites. But I dont want to do that as there is a bit security problem. I just wrote Proxy.pac files to use proxy sever for that particular website & put its location on Automatic Proxy Configuration. But its not working. I va tried with two types of .pac files. Given the code of the files below.....
First one..........
<pre><nowiki>
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://bluenest.org") || localHostOrDomainIs(host, "http://www.bluenest.org"))
return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
else
return "DIRECT";
</nowiki></pre>
Second one......
<pre><nowiki>function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if(!isResolvable(host))
return "DIRECT";
return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
}</nowiki></pre>
but none of them working. Please help.
Can you please tell which proxy server is fastest & safest.
Thanx in advance

I submitted a bug report to Apple. The problem is present since 10.9.2, now with 10.10 and iOS. I hope they will take this problem seriously.

Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.

Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

Terry,
I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
Thanks.

This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.
