Notes
-
To configure both a SOCKS proxy and an HTTP proxy in a PAC file, list the SOCKS proxy after the HTTP proxy.
For example, the environment administer can use the following JavaScript function in the PAC file:function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
return "PROXY proxy.example.com:8080; SOCKS proxy.example.com:1080; DIRECT";
} -
To configure proxy settings for a wireless connection on an iPad, click WiFi in the Settings menu, open the wireless connection, and then select Auto under the HTTP Proxy heading. Then, type the address of the PAC file.
-
If the proxy setting is not set correctly, Lync 2010 for iPad users cannot view PPT files that are shared in the meeting.
