pac-proxy-agent

A PAC file proxy http.Agent implementation for HTTP and HTTPS

This module provides an http.Agent implementation that retreives the specified PAC proxy file and uses it to resolve which HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS proxy, or if a direct connection should be used to connect to the HTTP endpoint.

It is designed to be be used with the built-in http and https modules.
