Renaming the accelerated PAC file

Rewriting the accelerated PAC file

Resolution

You can accomplish this with a rewrite rule.

You want to be able to use http://proxy.example.com/pacfile as the location for the PAC file you can make a rewrite by using and modifying the CPL below.

Where 10.2.3.4 is the ip address of your proxy, and http://proxy.example.com/pacfile is the url you want to point to.

<proxy>
url="http://proxy.example.com/pacfile" action.rewrite_pac(yes) 

define action rewrite_pac
   rewrite(url,"(.*)","http://10.2.3.4:8080/accelerated_pac_base.pac")
end

Note: If you are using a non-standard HTTP service TCP port on the proxy, use that in the above policy instead of port 8080.
