Oh - I just see that "WPAD" is a special protocol. Not an arbitrary name  
of a file.

The last years I have worked with "netscape.pac" - it's Java style, like  
the *.js files for netscape and firefox.
It's the "Proxy Auto Config" protocol (is it a protocol?).

I'll have to read and work with WPAD some time.

Viele Gruesse!
