Okay i am having problems getting it to work. we are using an automatic proxy server.
the proxy server owner tells me it is based on squid and that the entire path to the pac file is http://ourproxiesrealname.fccc.edu and that we do not need to put in anymore to get to the auto configuration file.
That looks odd. But... I've just had a bit of a look, and I'd say it is okay. When I attempt to access http://proxy.fccc.edu I get a properly formatted pac file. Maybe a slightly strange way of doing things, but it shouldn't cause any problems that I know of.
I know i have the mac set up correctly for proxies in the network settings as i can access http for sites that the proxy server should not touch but
when i try to access servers that the proxy server are supposed to intercept and reroute safari starts downloading things like
What you pasted here is actually the pac file! My guess here would be that you are specifying the pac address (which, as above, actually looks like a proxy address) as a proxy address. Your browser is attempting to relay your request through the proxy address, but that only returns the PAC file.
Looking again at your first sentence above, I'm confused as to what you mean by "automatic proxy server". In my words, I would say you either have a proxy server, or an automatic proxy configuration file. You can't interchange the two.
Any suggestions.
My suggestion is to use the proxy address you have been supplying as the PAC file address. Safari does not have built in support for PAC files, so try using the PAC option in Authoxy. Your Network preferences' Proxy setting will then point to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (or whatever you choose).
What happens then? By that I mean, what exactly do you see? Error messages, entries in the messages tab window, browser status messages, browser action?
