Re: [squid-users] ACL Question

I had difficulty with them also, but then I stumbled upon some info that
really fixed things.

When you declare the application type for .pac extensions in Apache, there
is one type of netscape browsers and another for IE. I wasusing the nescape
version and IE wouldn't auto configure. I dug around MS's site and found a
different type for the IE browser. Changed it and IE auto configures like a
champ now.
