issues with proxy.pac

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Gnome is configured to read the proxy settings from a pac file:
http://1.2.3.4/proxy.pac

This setting works, the pac is valid and distributed as
application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig mime type

When using proxy (the test program from libproxy), I get the following output :

>proxy
http://www.google.com
*** Invalid PAC URL! Falling back to direct...
direct://

This is apparently not such a nice solution (especially not, as all other
programs seem to work fine with this pac file).

If I can provide you any more information, please let me know.

Problem arises only when the pac URL is entered in the form
http://<ipaddress>/proxy.pac. I tried it with http://<dnsname>/proxy.pac, and it
get's a correct reply on which proxy to use (tested with the proxy binary)

• Changed state: Accepted

In case of IP instead of server name, the port was not added to the pxURL 
structure
and libproxy tried to connect on port 0.

Patch available, to be reviewed by npmccallum
