PAC File Best Practices | TRITON AP-WEB | Version 8.x
This example PAC file illustrates how to:
*
Normalize the requested URL for pattern matching
*
Bypass the proxy when the destination is a plain hostname (a hostname that does not include a domain)
*
Bypass the proxy for a defined set of local domains
*
Bypass the proxy for Windows Update
*
Bypass non-routable addresses (RFC 3330)
*
Send remaining HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic to a specific proxy
 
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
 
/* Normalize the URL for pattern matching
url = url.toLowerCase();
host = host.toLowerCase();
 
{
/* Don't proxy local hostnames */
if (isPlainHostName(host))
{
return 'DIRECT';
}
 
/* Don't proxy local domains */
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".example1.com") ||
(host == "example1.com") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".example2.com") ||
(host == "example2.com") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".example3.com") ||
(host == "example3.com"))
{
return 'DIRECT';
}
 
/* Don't proxy Windows Update */
if ((host == "download.microsoft.com") ||
(host == "ntservicepack.microsoft.com") ||
(host == "cdm.microsoft.com") ||
(host == "wustat.windows.com") ||
(host == "windowsupdate.microsoft.com") ||
(dnsDomainIs(host, ".windowsupdate.microsoft.com")) ||
(host == "update.microsoft.com") ||
(dnsDomainIs(host, ".update.microsoft.com")) ||

/* Don't proxy non-routable addresses (RFC 3330) */

isInNet(hostIP, '240.0.0.0', '240.0.0.0'))
{
return 'DIRECT';
}
 
/* Don't proxy local addresses.*/
if (false)
{
return 'DIRECT';
}
}
 
if (url.substring(0, 5) == 'http:' ||
url.substring(0, 6) == 'https:' ||
url.substring(0, 4) == 'ftp:')
{
return 'PROXY wcg1.example.com:8080';
}
 
return 'DIRECT';
}
The following is a simple example of load distribution and failover using DNS. Search the Internet for other methods.
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.1.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
{ return "PROXY wcg1.example.com:8080; " +
"PROXY wcg2.example.com:8080";
}
 
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.2.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
{ return "PROXY wcg1.example.com:8080; " +
"PROXY wcg2.example.com:8080";
}
 
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.3.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
{ return "PROXY wcg2.example.com:8080; " +
"PROXY wcg1.example.com:8080";
}
 
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.4.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
{ return "PROXY wcg2.example.com:8080; " +
"PROXY wcg1.example.com:8080";
}
else return "DIRECT";
}
