Pactester Description

Pactester - Tool to test Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) files Pactester is a tool to test Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) files. PAC files are used by browsers to determine the "right" proxy for a URL. Since the PAC file evaluation mechanism is generated inside the browser and cannot be accessed from outside, the only way to tell which proxy your browser will use for a specific URL is manual inspection of the PAC file. But manual inspection doesn't really scale very well. Pactester resolves this problem. It makes use of JavaScript interpreter and netscape/mozilla APIs to evaluate the PAC files and automates the whole process.Pactester reads a PAC file, evaluates it in a JavaScript context and uses thisPAC file's logic to determine the proxy for a specific URL.Pactester has been tested to work on Intel Macs and Linux.
