Wpad-php

Genereates 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 :

1. Set up a LVS or something similar.
2. Generating a 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 :

1. Only hardcoded value
2. 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.

• 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

• 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.
