Prevent MSIE 8 from reloading PAC file

  • 772

How do I prevent Internet Explorer from reloading the PAC file? I need to stop IE8 from reloading the PAC file on every request the browser makes.

I only require it to load once per session.

internet-explorer-8 pac

    I haven't seen this behaviour before. The only thing that comes to mind is that caching of proxy autoconfiguration (PAC) scripts might be disabled. Even so, I wasn't aware that disabling such caching caused the script to be loaded more than once per browser session.

    The setting is configurable via Group Policy at: User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer / Disable caching of Auto-Proxy scripts

    In the registry, the policy setting lives at: HKCR\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\EnableAutoProxyResultCache
