"Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" or "Use Automatic Configuration script" at browsers
Dear experts
At browser network setting
* Mozilla has "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL"
* IE called it as "Use Automatic Configuration script"
What is above parameter for?
At office I need to set those value at my browser(IE / Mozilla) to certain URL, e.g http://abc.com
But then, if I'm using other application (e.g TortoiseSVN, Paros Proxy) that will connect to "outside network" , there is no way to specify those parameter inside the application, hence it failed.
Any advice?

You could setup ie to use proxy and use mozilla to directly browse the internet. And opera to use a second proxy - just a suggestion

Hi MacNuttin,
thank you for your response. btw still not clear what's the different between "normal" & "automatic" proxy here..

Well I would expect it to be automatic if you don't tell browser config the address of proxy but rather have the proxy anounce itself in some discovery process of the browser

Hi MacNuttin,
I think you're right that there is some automation if I did not specify anything at browser.. but actually my question is about below configuration inside browser
* Mozilla has "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL"
* IE called it as "Use Automatic Configuration script"
(I need to fill in above configuration before able to connect).

And Like I said above other than using different browsers preconfigured for the different Proxy settings I know of no way to change proxy based on URL
But this is not so bad you can control what browser opens and thereby the proxy with a shortcut start in Mozilla for example for Proxy 1 shortcut start in IE for Proxy 2
