DESCRIPTION
pactester is a tool to test proxy auto-config (pac) files. It returns the proxy config string for the given URL and the pac file. pactester uses pacparser C library for most of its functionality.OPTIONS
- -p pacfile
- PAC file to test. Specify "-" to read from the standard input.
- -u url
- URL to test the PAC file for.
- -h host
- Host part of the URL. If not specified, it's determined from the URL.
- -c client_ip
- Client's IP address (as returned by the function myIpAddress() in PAC files). If not specified, it defaults to the IP address of the machine on which this tool is running.
- -e
- Enable Microsoft PAC extensions (dnsResolveEx, myIpAddressEx, isResolvableEx).
- -f urlslist
- A file containing the list of URLs to be tested. This is good for testing a PAC file against a set of URLs.
EXAMPLES
To find out the proxy config string for the pac file "wpad.dat" and the URL "http://www.google.com":
$ pactester -p wpad.dat -u http://www.google.com
For a client with IP address 10.0.12.123:
$ pactester -p wpad.dat -c 10.0.12.123 -u http://www.google.com
For a pac file hosted at http://wpad/wpad.dat:
$ curl -s http://wpad/wpad.dat | pactester -p - -u http://google.com
