auto-config proxy script for pandorasaver

[enneract]

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
    if (
        shExpMatch(url, "*pandora.com*")
    ) {
        return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:8888";
    } else {
        return "DIRECT";
    }
}

Name it proxy.pac or something similar (.pac), and point your browser (FF & derived browsers, songbird, etc) or internet connection settings (windows... for IE, chrome) at it. Might not be the best way to do it, but seems to work for me, and I haven't seen any posts regarding this. Removes the need to use a specific browser, and cuts down on general annoyance with the proxy.

// script which IE or firefox can use to decide how to route a certain URL
// this can also be used to avoid pandora's US-only restriction

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

if (shExpMatch(host, "*pandora.com*")) // url contains pandora.com
        return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:8888";    
            
return "DIRECT"; // no proxy
}

In the first post :S Also, IE seems to be a bit weird evaluating this. (I've not tried it in a while though)

rofl.

I didn't copy yours, I swear, I just noted the problem and threw that together.

I don't use IE, so no idea other than it *should* work.
