Hi Team, I'm using a automatic proxy script file which is proxy.pac . Content of the file as below,

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch(host, "portal.hclinsys.com")) { return "DIRECT"; } return "PROXY 192.168.10.5:8080; PROXY 192.168.10.25:8080"; }

My ultimate objective is i'm using two proxy servers in our environment. 192.168.10.5 is my primary proxy server and 192.168.10.25 is my secondary proxy.

If my primary goes down, i should automatically redirect to the second proxy 192.168.10.25.

My observation is firefox only looks for the first proxy say 192.168.10.5. if it doesnt resolve the webpage giving the error message and its not trying to resolve through my second proxy.

Kindly help me to diagnose this issue.

Regards, Saran

HI Saran, There were a number of addons that are suggested in the other threads I researched: this one was interesting

THis one toohttp://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=13730 It looks like they used the auto proxy url and pointed this to the function as an example. I do not know if this will still work in the current version. Have you also tried asking in [stackoverflow.com]?
