Thank you for the suggestion, one thing I should point out is that in the
proxy autoconfig file a function must be defined called FindProxyForUrl
which is what the browser will call to determine whether a proxy is to be
used (and which one to use). There is no way of clearing the value outside
of the function as the script will not have access to that.

When you do your return of either PROXY:5555 or DIRECT, you set a
value somewhere outside of this function.  What calls this
function?  Be sure to clear that value PRIOR to this call on each
iteration and that may solve it.  Another option is to clear the
value immediately following the use of it, virtually garbage
clean-up.  Seeing only this function and not what calls it does
not help because the problem lies outside of your function.


Hope this helps.
