Proxy Auto Config Web Test Plugin - VS 2012

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me with my problem. I've currently created a number of web tests which require a web test plugin in order to run. The issue that I am having is that our company proxy is via Proxy Auto Config file.
But I cannot find anything about passing this in to the WebProxy object.
Is there another option for me to pass the config file or url to the file so that my web tests will run correctly?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Pir.Rad,
This blog introduced how to set proxy in web test plug-in:

Proxy auto-config (PAC) impacts ssh, scp, sftp

Dear all,
I have this problem I am trying to find leads on how to understand and eventually solve it.
I am doing a lot of development under Unix. I'm spending most of my time at work on X11 (XQuartz) logged in on remote Unix servers using all "S" versions of standard protocols. I'm under Snow Leopard because Lion is no good to my workflow (sorry to say this).
Since my employer has contracted an external company to filter all outgoing HTTPS traffic - and has updated the legacy proxy PAC file accordingly - I encounter huge latency problems with my ssh, scp and sftp traffic with my remote Unix servers : all "S" protocols are routed through the external company HTTPS filter.
I have created one Network Location (network sys prefs) that uses "Automatic Proxy Configuration" to point to the PAC file server (a).
I have create another Network Location that activates a distinct proxy setting for HTTP and the same for HTTPS protocols. I've set up as Web Proxy server the one defined as PROXY in the PAC file (b).
Using (a) Network preference, all my ssh and scp traffic initiated under X11 is slow as a drag (10kb/s on a 100baseT full duplex to the server in the same building) because it gets piped through the external https traffic filter.
Using (b) Network preference, no problem at all with ssh and scp, and Safari can browse both http and https sites as per company rules.
My question is how can this setting of Network preference - combined with a PAC file - can influence a traffic that is secured through ssl but is not HTTP nor HTTPS !
I am looking for some documentation that would help me understand how Proxy auto-config is implemented in the network layer and if there are any recommendations I can do to my network team to fix their PAC file, perhaps, to restrict the proxy configuration to only http and https.
Any lead will help.
Thanks,
Thierry
The PAC file (stripped of restricted info). Note: The remote servers I'm working on are in the 10/24 IP range and a segment of a Class B my company owns.
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
          var proxy = "PROXY XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1:80; PROXY XXX.YYY.ZZZ.2:80" ;
if (
          shExpMatch(host, "10.*.*.*") ||
          shExpMatch(host, "192.168.*.*")
          return "DIRECT";
else
          return proxy;

Ooops. Sorry, I meant "10/8", not "10/24" IP range.

Cannot set Proxy Auto Config in iPhone/iPad Configuration Profile

Hi, All.
Our enterprise uses internal and external DNS, and we leverage Proxy Auto Config (PAC) files to determine how to resolve hostnames.
I can create a VPN Configuration Profile with the URL for the PAC file, so that when the VPN is enabled, it will start using the PAC file to resolve.
However, there is no such option in the WiFi Configuration Profile.
Any idea if there is a way to automate this, or if Apple intends to include this in a future version of iOS or iPCU?
Thanks,
David

I know the flash plugin uses the browser proxy settings.
But is this still true if the browser is set to use PAC

Access proxy from terminal using proxy auto-config

I know about using ntlmaps to wrapper my proxy configurations e get access from Terminal, iTerm2, &c exporting http_proxy variable and others. But I don't want go on using this approach because it simply ***** (forgive me for this word...) for a lot of issues.
I would like simply setup my proxy environment on Network Preferences/Advanced/Automatic Proxy Configuration: (host: http://myproxy/proxy.pac) and using this setup for a whole system, including my terminals. Therefore, are there any way to reach it?
Another details, my proxy is authenticated and uses ntlm type and in browser I use internet without problems.
Thanks a lot for any help!

I am not quite sure what you are looking for. Mac OS X has supported auto proxy configuration since 10.6 Snow Leopard was introduced (acutally in response to a request I made ). If you open System Preferences, click on Network, then go to the Advanced settings for your network interface, in the Proxies tab there is an option called Auto Proxy Discovery. This is different to Automatic Proxy Configuration which was also available in previous versions of OS X. Automatic Proxy Configuration uses a selected PAC file (Proxy Auto Configuration file) but Auto Proxy Discovery uses the WPAD method of finding your proxy server.
See this article for information about WPAD (Web Proxy Automatic Detection).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol
WPAD uses either an option advertised from your DHCP server giving the address of your proxy server, or WPAD can use a standard URL based on your domain name to download a dat file containing your proxy server details.
I have seen reports saying the the DNS method is problematic with Mac OS X but also seen reports that the DHCP method does work with this option successfully. So my suggestion is to define the DHCP option code 252 to advertise your proxy server.
Note: Thanks to yet another request I made in the past the Mac OS X DHCP Server can be manually configured to define additional DHCP option codes including option 252. The ability to define DHCP option codes was added in Mac OS X 10.5 Server (Leopard).

A lan address for proxy auto config in mozilla firefox!

i must type a lan or pac file address in network auto config proxy addres line.

It is not possible to enter internet information in the Advanced > Network > How Firefox connects to the internet> Settings... When you click on "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" that option is greyed out. Auto detect detects the system configuration. Please make sure that the system proxy configuration is set up correctly.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

How can i enter these settings into my BB to make my wifi work?

Hey daraius1995,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
The BlackBerry smartphone does not have an option to configure HTTP Proxy for Wi-Fi, this is by design. For more information please see the following article:

Is Proxy Auto-config functional?

I find that when using a PAC file to configure browsers on Tiger, it just does not work. Manual proxy settings work as expected; and the PAC file method works on other platforms - but not the Mac. Is this a known issue?

Setting timeout for all the web test scripts in the solution

Hello,
I have around 16 web test scripts (using VSTS 2010 ultimate version) in my project (in a solution). By default the timeout set for each request is 60 sec. I need to increase the timeout to 180 sec. Currently, I am clicking on each request and modifying
the timeout parameter from the Properties window.
Is there any common setting for timeout available which would be acting across all the scripts?
Thanks.

Hello,
We only can set Timeouts for a separate request in Visual Studio Web Test. There is no way to set Timeout for all requests in VS IDE. But you can write you own logic code using
Timeout Property in a web test plugin to set Timeout for all requests in a web test.
About how to write a web test plugin, please see:

Calculation of respone time in Web Test

Hi Team,
We do use think time and some web test plugin before/after web request.
When we run the webtest, Is think time and time taken by web or load test plugins added to actual response time ?

Response times are the intervals between sending a request and receivng a response. Think times are intervals between receiving one response and sending the next request.
Plugins normally run very quickly. I do not know where their execution time would be accumulated but I would expect that normallly it would be too small to notice. If you are worried about execution time of plugins then you could look in the load test
results at the counters Overall => Test =>
% Time in load test plugin and Overall =>
Test => % Time in Web test code.

Proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files

After some advice on how to create and serve proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files..?
How to set one up. Syntax, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Tim.

Proxy auto config files are Javascripts that parse the requested URL and return a response to the browser telling it where to go to get the content.

Java proxy auto-configuration and Microsoft PAC script extensions

Hi,
Within our proxy auto-configuration PAC script, we have to use the Microsoft IPv6 PAC script extensions such as myIPAddressEx rather than the old myIPAddress. This is required in order to get the PC's internal 10.0.0.0/8 IPv4 address rather than the IPv6 or wi-fi card addresses that are often returned when using myIPAddress.
However, as soon as we change from myIPAddress to myIPAddressEx, Java seems to be unable to process the PAC script.
Here are the extensions (introduced many years ago:
IPv6-Aware Proxy Helper API Definitions (Windows)
Question - does Java support these extensions or have plans to?
Thanks,
Kev.

SCOM 2012 - Visual Studio Web Test - Cannot retrieve downloaded test results / share not configured

Hello-
I am trying to get my Visual Studio web test to work in SCOM 2012. I have configured the run-as account, and set the correct overrides for the Alert attachment file share discovery. I followed this guide to the T: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj899889.aspx
When I Select the site that I want to download the test result file for, The results pane shows the following error:
"The share does not seem to be configured in the Alert Attachment Management Pack"
When I attempt to download the result file without manually entering creds, it fails. When I do enter creds, in the "task history" it shows as succeeded, but I get no results. All subsequent automatic "Retrieve previously..." fail. In
the "task history", the "Run As" column is blank (unless I manually enter the credentials, which doesn't do me any good, anyway)
My "Alert Attachment" MP is inside another MP I created, along with the "System Center Global Service Monitor VS Web Test" MP and two other System Center MPs. This created MP is the one that my Alert Attachment Overrides are attached
to.
My Run-As account has the needed permissions to the file share, so I am lost as to why this isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you followed the steps here to configure the share location http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj899889.aspx ?

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.
qatm

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.
