OSX: proxy-vole ignores PAC proxy settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set Automatic Proxy Configuration on OSX
2. Use http://somelocation/proxy.pac
3. Try to get Proxy inside Java application

What is the expected output?
java application uses proxy

What do you see instead?
java application is uploading directly

What version of the product are you using?
proxy-vole_20121203.jar

On what operating system?
OSX 10.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.
I've tried these strategies - Strategy.OS_DEFAULT, Strategy.BROWSER
This java application works fine on WIN through PAC proxy.

In this method OsxProxySearchStrategy.installPacProxyIfAvailable
proxySettings.get("ProxyAutoConfigEnable") returns null.

Also, proxySettings contains FTPPassive=1 however I turned it off for all 
networks

You're seeing the same thing I was reporting (Issue: 44) proxy-vole is basing 
your proxy info off of the highest priority network interface (this is obscure, 
but in your preferences.plist it shows the Bluetooth-Modem as being the highest 
priority). If you drill down further, there is no proxy information under 
bluetooth modem other than FTPPassive=1. If you go into your network 
preferences and select the gear icon and service order, you can bump your 
Ethernet or Wi-Fi up to position 1 and verify that proxy-vole now works in OS/X.

I propose that someone changes it to select en0 or en1 (commonly Ethernet and 
Wifi), unless anyone has a better solution.

Scratch that, en1 on my MacBook Air (2013) is Bluetooth PAN. What a disaster 
too... under /NetworkServices/<service_id>/Interface I get the following:

DeviceName: en1
Hardware: Ethernet
Type: Ethernet
UserDefinedName: Bluetooth PAN

Anyone know of any System files to cross reference for identifying BT 
interfaces?

I have found the same issue as described above (with reading the highest 
priority network interfaces, which may not be the right one). I thought I had a 
solution (looping through the interfaces in order until hitting an Ethernet 
interface), but that seems unreliable since there may be more than one. Has 
anyone figured out a way to see if an interface is connected or not? The System 
Preferences Network config pane has that info, so it must be available 
somewhere. With that info, I figure the first Ethernet interface that is also 
connected could safely (?) be selected as the one to pick proxy information 
from.

Any other ideas are welcome. The current approach of just picking the highest 
priority interface definitely does not work.

Hi,
This seems to be the same issue as 44 indead. I fixed and closed that one and 
the fix is also valid for you. I will release a new version with the fix within 
this week.

Have fun,
