Back to proxy-pac service main section
The objective is to provide a configuration script against a rule depending on the URL used to retrieve the proxy.pac
This feature is available on Artica v4.30 Service Pack 927 or Artica v4.40
¶ The "Requested Proxy or Web host" object
To do this, the Requested Proxy or Web host object allows the web server to pay attention to the web host required by the client.
This filter tells the server that produces the proxy.pac to provide the script only on the specified rule.
This object is able to matches the current proxy hostname ,IP address or local web server hostname in regex method.
For example, if proxy is named proxy1.domain.tld, proxy1\. or domain\.tld or proxy1\.domain\.tld will return true.
Local ip address matches the same verification.
- In your Proxy PAC rule, in the Objects Source section, create an object using “Requested Proxy or Web host” method
- Put elements using the regex method that match the host name you need.
In our example,
pac2\.domain\.tld will matches
- http://pac2.domain.tld/proxy.pac
but also
pac2\.(.+?)\.tld will matches
- http://pac2.domain2.tld/proxy.pac,
- http://pac2.something.tld/proxy.pac,
- http://pac2.otherthing.tld/proxy.pac
or
pac2\.domain\.[a-z]+$ will matches
- http://pac2.domain.com/proxy.pac,
- http://pac2.domain.local/proxy.pac,
- http://pac2.domain.sz/proxy.pac
With "Requested Proxy or Web host" , we can now provide 2 rules (2 PAC scripts ) according to the requested domain
