I am attempting to setup a pac file as proxy for an ipad running ios version 8.4. I setup the ipad to use the proxy by pointing the auto configuration url under wifi settings to point the pac file:
https://myproxyserver:2020/proxy.pac
This is the contents of proxy.pac:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
return "PROXY http://internalproxy:8080";
}
Then I try to connect to the internet using safari and it does not work. I get an error:
"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."
I know the proxy works on the ipad since if I set the wifi settings to manual and point to http://internalproxy:8080 directly, I can then get to the internet with no errors.
Also, I know the iPad can get to the proxy pac file, since if I remove all proxy settings and point directly to:
https://myproxyserver:2020/proxy.pac
I can get to the file.
What am I missing? Thanks.
