Hello. I'd like to use GAIM at work. We have a proxy. To connect to the Internet, we use an "automatic proxy configuration url" like "http://blabla/proxy.pac", plus login and password. I do not find how to setup GAIM. I someone has the answer... Thx.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
yeah, I'd love to know this too. I need it for my Uni proxy ( http://proxy.newcastle.edu.au/proxy.pac ). I tried just reading the pac file and entering the address/port, but it didn't work. any other way around this?

A shameless bump here... I too could really use a way of setting this. Coincidentally... I'm at another Newcastle... newcastle.ac.uk!
I would particularly like to use the automatic config since I have now discovered that the pac script can return SOCKS proxies too, eg.
return "SOCKS www.xxx.yyy.zzz";
Which would mean automatic handling of protocols that our http proxy won't allow.
It is horrible moving my laptop from home (no proxy) to Uni (locked down tight and several different proxies)

actually, I just set the proxy config to "use environmental settings and it works fine. using both ICQ and MSN
