    Hi,

    Any one come across this problem?   I am finding that if I setup my Internet Explorer by using a WPAD/PAC file instead of direct proxy setting,  the APP-V 4.6 client tries to connect to the server through the proxy server instead of going direct.  For example the App-v server is called   appv.domain.com and the simple pac file is listed below.  The proxy server show the connection from the client for a destinantion of http://appv.domain.com,  but in the script, it should not go to the proxy server.

    When the manual proxy settings are entered into the browser instead of the script, with the *.domain.com as a exception, all works fine.

    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
     {
       if (isPlainHostName(host) || dnsDomainIs(host, ".domain.com"))
         return "DIRECT";
       else
         return "PROXY proxy.domain.com:8080";
      }

     

    Hope Anyone can help  :)

    Can we try to reproduce the issue while collecting a netmon trace? This would help nail down the issue. You can also use IE to connect to the application by its HTTP URL reference as we can see if certificate errors pop up.

    You could add a rule in the PAC file specifically for the App-V server. See the following site for some excellent documentation on PAC files: http://www.returnproxy.com/proxypac/

    A rule for this situation might include:

    if ((host == "appv.domain.local") { return "PROXY proxy1.company.net:8000"; }

    Hi Aaron,

    Thanks for the reply,   yes, nice idea, but I have tried putting the server into the script as a direct setting,  the strange thing is,  the script works perfect in Internet Explorer  ( Windows 7 with IE8 ),   the app-v 4.6 client reads this script,  and does not work,  it most like the app-v client does not process the host/domain name is has while reading the script.

    If I can stop the APP-v 4.6 client from even reading the script in the first place, this would be a solution.

     

    Thanks

    Ah, I did see this issue last year some time, but can't remember the solution at the moment. I'll post back if I do.
