Support "--proxy-pac-url"

[hanzhao]

As Chromium, PAC for detecting correct proxy for current uri is useful. Any supports or plans about it?

As far as I now it is supported.

[hanzhao]

Any documents about it? I havent found docs about it

Electron just uses the system proxy settings.

[hanzhao]

With Chromium's commandLine switch
--proxy-pac-url=
This tells Chrome to use the PAC file at the specified URL.
For example,
--proxy-pac-url="http://wpad/windows.pac"
will tell Chrome to resolve proxy information for URL requests using the windows.pac file.

It makes proxy setting more elegant. Any plans about it? Related nwjs/nw.js#916 on NW.js.

The --proxy-pac-url switch is not supported yet.

I am trying to create websocket connection with this PAC setting. Everything works when I connect to webSocket in the console in Devtools (which I believe is native to Chrome), however it doesn't work when I do the same from the app where I have to require('ws').
Can you help me how to use Chrome websocket function or to find equivalent setting for the app that works?
