WPAD support in mozilla firefox

[Ram Meena]

Hi,

I am working on a project which involves studying WPAD implementation
in mozilla firefox. I have already downloaded mozilla firefox 1.5.0.2
source code but could not find the location where wpad might be
implemented. I have even tried searching forums but with no results.
Could anyone point to a web page or tell me where the wpad is
implemented in the source code. Any kind of help would be greatly
appericated.

cheers

Are you sure it's not already been done? I remember a bug in Bugzilla
about it. Go have a search :-)

Thanks for the reply Gerv,
I am sorry if i was not clear with my last post.you are right that WPAD
is already implemented and i think the code is in following path
(correct me if iam wrong)
mozilla/netwerk/base/src/nsProtocolProxyService.cpp

I am trying to figure out how this is implemented in firefox but i am
not able to find any document which talks about this file. I guess if
there is no document then I might write one myself. Has any one came
across any thread where this was discussed?
Thanks for all your help.

It is indeed:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/netwerk/base/src/nsProtocolProxyService.cpp&rev=1.69#481

It's rather simple-minded, all it does is try to load
http://wpad/wpad.dat as a PAC file.
