Support for non-standard ports

[John]

Does pactester handle non-standard ports in URLs, e.g. http://<FQDN>:9001/
?

We have complicated PAC files and pactester has saved us many times.

Thanks, John

Current release (1.0.7) of pactester handles it correctly only if you
specify both URL and host like this:

./pacptester -p some_pac.wpad -u http://<FQDN>:9001/someurl.html -h FQDN

After your mail I realized that if you specify only URL, then
pactester considers everything between proto :// and / as hostname.
That means port part will go into hostname. This is not in conformance
with the PAC file standard:

Port number shouldn't be part of hostname. I have just submitted a fix
for it to SVN repository.

You can download modified script from
http://pactester.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pactester.

I'll include this change in next release.

Thanks for asking for this :)

Ah - thanks. Yes, including the "-h" worked. I'll test the enhancement
you've made as well.
