The problem is that there is no way for the library to currently choose between 
multiple IP addresses that the client machine may have configured.  I think the 
only way to solve this properly is to add an API function to the library that 
allows the user to pass in a remote host to connect to to find out which client 
IP address works.  My function set_myip_from_host() in 
http://code.google.com/p/pacwget/source/browse/pacparse.c implements this, 
including allowing the user to choose if they would like only IPv4 or only IPv6 
addresses.  I would be happy to reformulate it as a pacparser library API 
function if you would like me to, Manu.

Hi Manu,

I have now reformulated the function I referred to in comment #1 as a pacparser 
library API in https://code.google.com/r/davedykstra-pacparser-iss25

Please check it out and pull it into a pacparser release.  I also added a way 
to test it from pactester, and updated pactester.1 correspondingly as well as 
adding a basic test (just to see that it doesn't fail) to testdata.  I'll let 
you run doxygen; my system has a very old version.  I didn't test it on 
Windows, but the only new function I used was getsockname, and internet 
searches seem to indicate that works fine on Windows.

I would also like this in before we integrate my pacparse.c and pacwget.

Dave
