pacparser is a library to parse proxy auto-config (PAC) files. Proxy auto-config files are a vastly used proxy configuration method these days. Web browsers can use a PAC file to determine which proxy server to use or whether to go direct for a given URL. The idea behind pacparser is to make it easy to add PAC file parsing capability to any program (C and Python are supported right now). It comes as a shared C library and a Python module that can be used to make any C or Python program PAC scripts intelligent. Some very useful targets could be popular Web software like wget, curl, and python-urllib. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
This version of the packages includes an implementation of pactester (http://code.google.com/p/pactester). An implementation of pactester in C, using pacparser libraries, makes its deployment very easy. It can be easily packaged now. Compiled binaries of pactester for Ubuntu and Windows are included with the libpacparser Debian package and pacparser Windows binaries, respectively.
