libProxy is returning direct:// for WPAD using DNS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. created a set up for WPAD that can detect and download the PAC file from 
remote server using DNS method on open suse

2. set the environment variable PX_CONFIG_ORDER=config_wpad

3.using the code 
http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/wiki/HowTo. created sample program

its expected to return proxy from PAC  , but i'm getting return value as  
direct://

i'm using .so of version 0.4.7 On open suse operating system

While enable the debug,i'm getting follwing logs:

Using config: NULL
Using ignore: 
Config is: direct://

What settings i'm missing ? why I'm getting return values as direct:// 
irrespective of url ?

Using config: NULL
=> That sounds like no configuration module can be loaded AT ALL

Using ignore: 
Config is: direct://
=> Hence, direct is the only solution.

please try with
_MM_DEBUG=1 _PX_DEBUG=1 proxy http://www.google.com
(proxy test program comes from libproxy-tools subpackage on openSUSE)

I understand the problem but i want WPAD module to get preference over ignore 
or i need to set WPAD in ignore patterns.

No, you don't understand the problem. There are *no* modules loaded at all. It 
isn't a preference thing. Until you have modules loading, we can't help you.

I've written this attached code to get the proxy using WPAD via DNS method. 
I've checked the binaries of libproxy modules, i haven't found any 
config_wpad.so or wpad_dns.so in the system. is the problem happens because of 
this ?
