Anyone,
Please help. Im trying to cut a long story short so please bear with me. We have ipads for our users to use when out of the office. To stop them from doing naughty stuff I have set up a proxy which filters sites that we dont want them to use. The proxy is tested and works fine from any wireless LAN, except....
When the user tries to connect through hotel wifi or Openzone for example, you will first be redirected to a splash screen. By setting a global http proxy it then means the ipad will not allow the spash screen first.
On a windows PC or laptop you have the setting "Bypass proxy for local addresses" but on ipads this isnt there. Nor can i specify exceptions without a PAC file. If i write a PAC file, can i place it on the ipad and if so how without jailbreaking?
If the PAC file sits on a IIS server then it wont work as it would still tryto access that server before the splash screen.
Effectively i need ALL internet connections to go through proxy, from any wifi. But need it to be able to see local addresses without proxy to enable the splash screen.
Please help if you can
Keith
