** Description changed:
When using a local pac file via file:///path/to/pac-file.pac, glib-
pacrunner falls back upon wpad://, thus using either a wrongly-obtained
pac file via wpad, or not being able to find a pac file to run in the
first place.
This causes issues with Liferea's Webkit-based HTML-view, and probably a
couple of other applications I haven't noticed as well.
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. Open Liferea
+ 2. Subscribe to the xkcd.com feed
+ 3. Click on one of the feed items
+ 4. Notice that an image is displayed.
+ 5. Save the following as a .pac file, e.g. in /tmp/bug-981856.pac
+ ---->8----
+ function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
+ return 'DIRECT';
+ }
+ ----8<-----
+ 6. Quit Liferea
+ 7. Set proxy in GNOME to file:///tmp/bug-981856.pac
+ 9. Open Liferea
+ 10. Click on a previously unopened feed item (the image may be cached)
+ 11. Observe if the image loads
+ - With the bugfix in place, it should, but without, it doesn't.
