title: What is the PAC file?
body: <p>I am trying to understand how a PAC file works. I have a proxy server application that I will be distributing to a few clients. The clients would have to set the proxy settings including port number on their browsers. As I understand it the PAC file should do this automatically?</p>
  
  <p>But my question is where should I put the PAC file? Can I put it on my webserver and give the address to my clients? E.g. if I put the PAC file in myserver.com/test.pac and my clients enter this url in the proxy settings of their browser, would it work?</p>
