Basic Auth using PAC?

[gingerbeardman]

Tinyproxy version

• 1.11.1

Issue

• I use a PAC to route access to certain domains (not all requests) through tinyproxy
• is it possible to allow Basic Auth via PAC?
• or some other way?

what is a PAC

[gingerbeardman]

Oh, sorry!

PAC = Proxy Auto Config https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config

It's a file containing little bit of JavaScript that can used to route proxy requests.

Here is mine:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
  if (
     dnsDomainIs(host, "hoyoyo.com") ||
     dnsDomainIs(host, "storage-yahoo.jp") ||
     dnsDomainIs(host, "yahooapis.jp") ||
     dnsDomainIs(host, "yimg.jp") ||
     dnsDomainIs(host, "yahoo.co.jp")
  ) return "PROXY 12.34.56.78:8888";

  return "DIRECT";
}

I enter my PAC script URL in Network settings (macOS, iOS, Windows) and Linux can use pacproxy

The processing is done on client side, so network requests are normal unless sent to proxy. With tiny proxy filter the only option is to allow or deny request at proxy.

tinyproxy doesn't support PAC, but it has upstream syntax which can select upstream proxies based on domain

I'll look into it, but it seems this implies that all my traffic will go through tinyproxy and upstream, which I guess would be undesirable for me.
