A library to parse proxy auto-config (PAC) files. Proxy auto-config
files are a vastly used proxy configuration method these days. Web
browsers can use a PAC file to determine which proxy server to use
or whether to go direct for a given URL. PAC files are written in
JavaScript and can be programmed to return different proxy methods
(e.g. "PROXY proxy1:port; DIRECT") depending upon URL, source IP
address, protocol, time of the day etc. PAC files introduce a lot
of possibilities.
Needless to say, PAC files are now a widely accepted method for
proxy configuration management and companies all over are using
them in corporate environments. Almost all popular web browsers
support PAC files. The idea behind pacparser is to make it easy to
add this PAC file parsing capability to any program (C and Python
supported right now).
