Add support for PAC files/URLs

Before I start: This is an awesome idea!
You might want to look at the proxy binary that comes with libproxy.

What you need to do this is:

• install libproxy + tools (this will depend on your distro, yikes)
• install libproxy plugin to parse WPAD (this will depend on your distro, yikes)

Call the libproxy interface as seen in the script below:

https://gitlab.com/jgsuess/poxy-proxy/blob/master/setproxy.bash

Important note: WPAD will compute proxy settings based on a URL you provide. This will effectively lead to a specific ProxyMan configuration for each URL-based query.

@jgsuess Do you still have that script you linked above? Seems to be gone.

if [ ! -n "$BASH" ]; then
    echo Please run this script $0 with bash; exit 1;
else

if (( $# != 2 ))
  then
    echo "This script will query the available PAC for the URL provided and set 
the http or https variables to the result."
    echo "Usage: source setproxy [http|https] URL"
    echo "Note you need to source the script, or else your parameters are not ex
ported."
fi

if ! [[ $1 =~ https? ]]; then
    echo "Parameter 1 (the proxy type to set) must be http or https."
fi

if ! [[ $2 =~ https?://.* ]]; then
    echo "Parameter 2 (the URL to obtain the proxy for) must be an http or https
 URL."
fi

export $1_proxy=`http_proxy=wpad:// proxy $2 | awk '{ print $2 }'`
echo "Proxy variables visible from this script:"
env | grep http

fi
