Microsoft Internet Explorer automatic configuration

Microsoft is also starting to support Netscape-style JavaScript automated proxy configuration. As of now, only MSIE version 3.0a for Windows 3.1 and Windows NT 3.51 supports this feature (ie, as of version 3.01 build 1225 for Windows 95 and NT 4.0, the feature was not included).

If you have a version of MSIE that does have this feature, select Options from the View menu. Click on the Advanced tab. In the lower left-hand corner, click on the Automatic Configuration button. Fill in the URL http://www-proxy.ioffe.rssi.ru/proxy.pac in the dialog box it presents you. Then exit MSIE and restart it for the changes to take effect. MSIE will reload the JavaScript file every time it starts.
