"Unable to locate valid config! / PAC" Error

Postby somagrave » 27 Oct 2010 22:25

Hello,
While trying to stream a video using HTTP I'm getting this problem:

Code: Select all

[0xb71020a8] main input debug: creating access 'http' path='1.0.2.1:8080' [0xb6f03db8] main access debug: looking for access module: 2 candidates [0xb6f03db8] access_http access debug: asking libproxy about url 'http://1.0.2.1:8080'
Exactly 20 seconds later...

Code: Select all

*** Unable to locate PAC! Falling back to direct... [0xb6f03db8] access_http access debug: libproxy suggest to use 'direct://' [0xb6f03db8] access_http access debug: http: server='1.0.2.1' port=8080 file='(null) [0xb6f03db8] main access debug: net: connecting to 1.0.2.1 port 8080 [0xb6f03db8] main access debug: connection: Operation now in progress [0xb6f03db8] main access debug: connection succeeded (socket = 66)
The streaming works fine! So, my question is: where is this configuration file I need to edit to either force a 'direct://' or to reduce this 20 second delay? Couldn't find anything in the GUI, under HTTP acess.

Thank you in advance.

Fix your proxy configuration. It looks like you have a .pac file that takes 20 seconds to process. Maybe it tries to do failing reverse DNS queries or something stupid like that.
