Does Java’s ProxySelector not work with automatic proxy configuration scripts?

by

No, the Java ProxySelector does not read Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) files.

However, as suggested by Brian de Alwis as an answer to my similar question, the Proxy Vole library appears to provide that support/capability.

To provide network connectivity out of the box for you Java
application you can use the Proxy – Vole library. It provides some
strategies for autodetecting the current proxy settings. There are
many configureable strategies to choose from. At the moment Proxy –
Vole supports the following proxy detection strategies.

  • Read platform settings (Supports: Windows, KDE, Gnome, OSX)
  • Read browser setting (Supports: Firefox 3.x, Internet Explorer; Chrome and Webkit use the platform settings)
  • Read environment variables (often used variables on Linux / Unix server systems)
  • Autodetection script by using WPAD/PAC (Not all variations supported)
