| A library to parse proxy auto-config (PAC) files. Proxy auto-config |
| files are a vastly used proxy configuration method these days. Web |
| browsers can use a PAC file to determine which proxy server to use |
| or whether to go direct for a given URL. PAC files are written in |
| JavaScript and can be programmed to return different proxy methods |
| (e.g. "PROXY proxy1:port; DIRECT") depending upon URL, source IP |
| address, protocol, time of the day etc. PAC files introduce a lot |
| of possibilities. |
| Needless to say, PAC files are now a widely accepted method for |
| proxy configuration management and companies all over are using |
| them in corporate environments. Almost all popular web browsers |
| support PAC files. The idea behind pacparser is to make it easy to |
| add this PAC file parsing capability to any program (C and Python |
| supported right now). |
