I don't think so. Essentially you have to parse a Javascript routine
called FindProxyForURL. What's worse is this routine can call various
Javascript functions that are assumed to be available. So you'd end up
requiring a Javascript interpreter.

Also it doesn't have to called proxy.pac, it's whatever the site wants
to call it (so there can be different pac files for different groups),
but the Content-Type must be correct. Which means you then need a means
of specifying what the URL of the pac file is. Might as well specify the
URL of the proxy directly.
