RE: [squid-users] wpad & windows updates

Is this correct? I'm not sure what # goes in the url.substring(0, x) for
https.

      if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:" ||
                                    url.substring(0, 5) == "https:"||
                            url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:"||
                            url.substring(0, 7) == "gopher:"

I think you've hit a bug in MSIE. (Gee - shock, horror).

Try this using the wpad.dat file:
  Have the browser go through the proxy for *both* http and https url's.

I know that there is little benefit sending HTTPS through the proxy, but
I encountered the exact same symptoms a few months back, altering the
wpad.dat like I'm suggesting worked...
