Using local pac script in IE 9
Raw
file-url-rants.md

This is interesting, How come IE (version 9) still doesn't support proper file:// urls for local pac script?

  • file:///C:/my.pac doesn't work.
  • file://C:/my.pac works.

This is even more interesting because, back in 2006, someone (very likely from inside Microsoft) has already(!) clarifed the correct usage of file:// on the official IEBlog, and here. Another good reference is from our beloved Wikipedia.

Dear MS, please fix this, so that I can use consistent pac script urls across browsers, and stop slapping your own face. Thank you!
