Client proxy autoconfiguration

At least with Firefox 2.0.0.20 and IE 7.xx, host parameter of the FindProxyForURL function does not seem to contain the IPv6 literal address.
That is, when at first I tried host.indexOf("[") == 0) return "PROXY <proxy_addr>"; it failed. It failed too with host.substr(0,1) == "[")
I found people using if (shExpMatch(dnsResolve(host), "*:*")) return whatever but it adds useless DNS requests for the need.

Stable relase of Squid 3.0 not typically IPv6-enabled

For Squid 3.0 prebuilt releases--at least for Ubuntu Hardy--Squid is not IPv6-enabled. One would have to compile manually or get a build of the 3.1 branch. 3.0.STABLE1-ubuntu1 does not listen to an IPv6 socket or request pages over IPv6. JNN2-SIXXS 19:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
