Proxy auto-config (PAC) standard: create and publish one central proxy configuration file. Details are discussed in a separate article. Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD) standard: ensure that an organization's browsers will find this file without manual configuration. This is the topic of this article.
The general format of the field is: [2] X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2 where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request adding the IP address where it received the request from.

In effect, you can choose the proxy based on the domain name, but not on the path of the URL. Alternatively, you need to disable caching of proxy auto-configuration results by editing the registry.

An alternative form of the header (X-ProxyUser-Ip) is used by Google clients talking to Google servers. Superseded by ...
The client is now being proxied to the remote host. Any data sent to the proxy server is now forwarded, unmodified, to the remote host [3] and the client can communicate using any protocol accepted by the remote host. In the example below, the client is starting SSH communications, as hinted at by the port number in the initial CONNECT request.
However, depending on how the proxy is configured, a censor may be able to determine the pages loaded and/or determine that the user is using a proxy server. [2] For example, the mobile Opera Mini browser uses a proxy-based approach employing encryption and compression in order to speed up downloads. This has the side effect of allowing it to ...

The server services include a Web server (HTTP and HTTPS), SMTP with extensions and POP3. ISAPI plugins are accepted allowing for server side scripting such as PHP to be ...
