====== Wpad-php ======

Genereates [[wp>wpad|wpad]] files.

The idea came last year. We have two proxies running as siblings. I wanted them to share the load, so two solutions came :

  - Set up a [[wp>Linux_Virtual_Server|LVS]] or something similar.
  - Generating a [[wp>wpad|wpad]] file with a different proxy each time.

I choose the second solution, it was easier to setup and simple. So I made a little PHP script and it went for a year. Last week I had to dig again in the script and found :

  - Only hardcoded value
  - Could be useful for someone else

I took a little time to clean it up and make it easier to re-use it and here it is. All features come from the original script.

===== Features =====

  * Share the load between proxies in a round-robin fashion
  * Kind of failover (always all proxies are listed)
  * Check for availability each proxy, a proxy that don't respond is discarded
  * Generate rules that should go direct (isInNet, shExpMatch, by protocol), based on configuration

===== Whishlist =====

  * I wanted to setup a url like ''proxies.example.com'' which would return all proxies as CNAME, but I had problem ... I'll be working on.
