Reading this reminded me that I needed to file an enhancement request  
for PAC files and the WPAD protocol. Revolution apps that access the  
internet do not work in corporate networks that use Proxy Auto- 
Configuration files (PAC) files since the developer does not know  
what ip address to set the httpproxy property to. Along with PAC  
support Revolution should also support the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery
(WPAD) protocol which automatically detects the location of PAC files  
on the network.

I've filed an enhancement request:
