I've been convinced for a long time that we need to improve both proxy.pac and wpad if we want to get rid of interception proxies. Incomplete issues list: - no way to specify timeouts (for a request, for a connection to a proxy, between read()s, etc.) - no way to control retry behaviour - visibility into cache errors, with control over how they're handled - limited view of connection state - no visibility into cache availability (up/down, ping times) - need more sophisticated load balancing (right now it has to be kludged) Regards, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
