Hi,

I want to configure my proxy settings with a local .pac file. That 
doesn't seem to work with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; 
de-DE; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030619 Netscape/7.1 (ax).

With Netscape 4.7x, there was no problem. Do I really have to configure 
a http service for that? If yes, is there a recommendation for that 
(howto's, freeware, ...)?

Any replies are highly appreciated.

TIA

Volker
