Proxy On/Off CommentaryHow about PAC files? - Version: 1.2.1, 4/22/2008 04:22PM PST

I'd like to use this for a PAC-based proxy, with a PAC file url. As it is, this is incredibly annoying to turn on and off when I want to use the university servers to access ejournals, etc. Is there any way to add this type of proxy to your toggler?

I need to frequently turn on the SOCKS proxy to secure my internet connection, and because Safari crashes sometimes when I go to a secure site with the SOCKS proxy on I also need to sometimes turn it off quickly too. This widget is my life saver to do just that very quickly! Love the new UI and thanks for the Universal Binary!
