OS X yosemite and safari 8 doesn't work with automatic proxy settings with url adress which ends with proxy.pac. Other browsers works well. Is there any problem in Safari settings?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I agree, a system proxy file of the form file://localhost/Users/.../xxxproxy.pac does not work in Safari 8.0 on a mid-2012 running Yosemite. It works fine in Chrome, and tools like pactester confirm that the pac file itself is ok.
Having the same issue, too.
It isn't just Safari. The problem seems to affect almost every application that uses OS X's built-in networking libraries. Most such applications don't even download the proxy.pac file: they just completely ignore the Automatic Proxy Configuration settings (though everything works fine with hard-coded proxies). Some apps, like Safari and iTunes do actually appear to download the proxy.pac file and then ignore it.
My proxy setup worked flawlessly on Mavericks and before and continues to work correctly with apps that don't use Apple's networking code, like Chrome and Firefox, also when they are using the system proxy settings (not Firefox's own proxy settings).
I am experiencing exactly the same thing. At first I thought it was either my proxy or the pac file, but both work fine when I use a different browser. This is definitely an issue with Safari 8.
Any news on this matter ? I have the same problem :/
Until now i still havent resolved this issue. My last resort would have to be to re-install Yosemite. But i have to backup and setup everything all over again. Such a pain. 😟
