NAME

App::proxyforurl - An online proxy PAC file parser

DESCRIPTION

App::proxyforurl is a web application that can be used to test proxy PAC files.

The server side is used to serve the web page, but does also provide functionality for resolving hostnames and checking if an IP is within a given net.

Demo

Check out https://thorsen.pm/proxyforurl for a running example.

Missing features

The client side PAC parser does not fully support dateRange(), timeRange() or weekdayRange(). These functions simply return true, no matter what the input is.

SYNOPSIS

  $ proxyforurl --listen http://*:8080;

With optional environment variables:

  $ PROXYFORURL_TEMPLATES=/path/to/templates \
    PROXYFORURL_BRAND_NAME=Thorsen \
    PROXYFORURL_BRAND_URL=https://thorsen.pm \
    PROXYFORURL_X_REQUEST_BASE="https://thorsen.pm/proxyforurl" \
    proxyforurl --listen http://*:8080;

• PROXYFORURL_TEMPLATES

  Can be set to a custom directory to override templates.

• PROXYFORURL_BRAND_NAME, PROXYFORURL_BRAND_URL

  Used to change the menu item text and URL.

• PROXYFORURL_X_REQUEST_BASE

  Can be set to a custom request base, in case the app is not mounted at "/".

DISCLAIMER

The parsing is done using good old eval() on the client side, which means that the pasted PAC file could in theory contain code which could steal cookies, inject alien JavaScript or do other harmful things.

There is a safety net installed to prevent this from happening, but since this is software, there might be bugs.
