Version: 3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.10-default When I set the proxy in the KDE control center to a .pac url, when entering an URL in konqueror it just freezes. When I enter the proxy settings manually or use the environment variables everything works fine.
Does a redirect happen when getting the pac-URL? Then this would be a duplicate of bug 123356.
How do I find this out?
You could use the HEAD command from package libwww-perl or wget: HEAD <url of the pac file> or wget -S <url of the pac file> Please paste the output of this command here. The content of the pac-file could also be useful.

Ok, then this is a dupe of bug 123356. Work-around for this bug: This should work when you use the endpoint of the redirect(s). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 123356 ***
So, please do vote for the initial bug. Right now, the bug is bneing ignored, and everybody here suffers!
It´s really sad that most bugs are ignored here on the KDE bugtracker. I think I´ll have to look for an alternative.
